571 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 571 82nd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Kenneth Volandes, has a concerning pattern of unresolved violations spanning over a decade, with particular emphasis on bedbug-related issues. Most recently, in 2024, the building received an open Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, marking the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) this violation has occurred.

Additionally, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for the years 2018-2021, which may indicate potential safety equipment maintenance issues. The building's violation history includes several significant but previously resolved issues, particularly in 2010-2012.

In apartment 2F, there were documented problems with bedbugs (2010, 2011), a carbon monoxide detector installation deficiency (2010), and leaking kitchen faucets (2011) - all of which were certified as corrected in 2019. Building access and security issues were addressed in 2012, with violations related to self-closing front entrance doors and defective vestibule door locks being resolved. While some violations have been properly addressed in the past, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations and more recent inspection failures suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
