470 74th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 40-unit, 4-story building at 470 74th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Mario Michalakis, was constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two emergency complaints filed in 2024 and one in 2024, though inspections did not find violations in any of these cases.

In December 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including ceiling paint/plaster problems, water leaks, and unsanitary mold conditions, all of which were investigated but no violations were issued. The building has a history of administrative violations related to safety and maintenance requirements. In 2018, violations were recorded for not properly posting essential safety information, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides.

Earlier that year, violations were issued for missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices in apartment 1D, though these were certified as corrected by March 2018. The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2023, reporting zero infested units during this period. A rodent inspection in July 2018 resulted in a passing grade.
