318 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 318 80th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Pete Papacostopoulos and constructed in 1931, has a concerning pattern of regulatory noncompliance in recent years. Most notably, the building has accumulated multiple open violations related to bedbug report filings under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) requirements between 2022 and 2024, with no record of these violations being certified as resolved.

While the building did submit a bedbug report for the period from November 2019 to October 2020, indicating zero infested units, the repeated violations suggest ongoing issues with timely compliance to reporting requirements. More recently, the Department of Buildings issued a violation in September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection, which remains active as of the current date.

This particular violation raises potential safety concerns, as external low-pressure systems are typically related to building infrastructure such as fire safety systems or other crucial building systems. Given the accumulation of both bedbug reporting violations and an active inspection violation, the property has demonstrated an ongoing pattern of regulatory noncompliance that spans multiple years and different types of violations, with the most recent being related to a critical building safety system.
