7721 Ridge Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 28-unit, 4-story building at 7721 Ridge Boulevard in Bay Ridge, owned by Andreas Bouzalas and constructed in 1931 as a New Law tenement, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in January 2025, the building underwent a heat and hot water emergency situation that was temporarily resolved during inspection.

The property has a documented history of plumbing-related problems, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2021 concerning sinks, bathtubs, and showers, including a heavy flow water leak in August 2021 which was classified as an emergency. Two instances of unlicensed tattooing activities were reported to the Department of Health in December 2021. The building has faced some safety-related concerns, including violations in January 2020 regarding fire escape obstructions on both the 2nd and 4th stories, though these were certified as corrected by February 2020.

While there were pest-related complaints in 2021, including an unsanitary condition report, the property has consistently demonstrated effective bedbug management, with official reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building's most recent rodent inspection in July 2021 resulted in a passing grade, indicating successful pest management. Despite the documented maintenance issues, many of which have been promptly addressed, the building's record shows regular filing of annual bedbug reports and efforts to maintain compliance with housing regulations.
