270 79th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

Located in Bay Ridge, 270 79th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Andrew Mitrakas. The building has experienced recurring sanitary maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding pests and garbage storage. Most notably, there were two unsanitary condition complaints in April 2025 (one emergency and one non-emergency), and four similar complaints in June 2024, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to the property for proper evaluation.

A concerning safety issue was documented in May 2024 regarding carbon monoxide detector installation, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019-2025, with consistent reports showing zero infested units or successful eradication efforts, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 included concerns about an illegal work permit and potential conversion issues, though inspections found no violations warranting further action.

The property has received two class A violations in May 2024 related to required postings about housing information and inspection certificates in the front hall, though these were certified as corrected later that month. A rodent inspection in August 2023 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant rodent issues at that time. While the building has had numerous complaints over the past two years, most were resolved without violations being issued during inspections, suggesting some level of responsiveness to tenant concerns, though access issues have hindered proper evaluations in several instances.
