612 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 612 80th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Chris Christopoulos and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations related to external low pressure inspections, with failures to file for 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections remaining unresolved as of September 2024.

In late 2021, multiple housing code violations were documented concerning Apartment 3F, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint needs, and improper door functions, while the building also had problems with exterior maintenance and safety features, including broken locks, improper door self-closing mechanisms, and missing required signage in public areas. The building experienced some interior maintenance issues in 2021, with violations recorded for ceiling and wall conditions, though a water leak complaint was investigated and no violations were issued at that time. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clear record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports filed between 2022 and 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during each reporting period.

The most recent complaint, filed in June 2023, involved a smoking violation that was administratively closed after being addressed. While the building's age and history show typical wear-and-tear issues requiring attention, the primary concerns appear to revolve around safety inspection compliance and some persistent maintenance needs in common areas and specific units, rather than systemic pest or sanitation problems. The property has shown improvement in recent years regarding interior pest control, maintaining a consistent record of zero infestations across multiple annual reports, though its history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024 (despite showing zero infestation during those years) may indicate initial compliance issues that have since been rectified.
