561 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

561 82nd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, owned by Theodosios Skapinakis and constructed in 1928 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced consistent issues with heat and hot water throughout the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in January 2025. There were two separate incidents in January 2025, one in early January and another later in the month, both affecting the entire building's services.

Similar heat and hot water issues have been documented throughout 2020-2022, with multiple complaints in December 2020 alone. While all these complaints were subsequently closed, they indicate a persistent pattern of heating system challenges in the building. The building's records show that it has maintained compliance with NYC's bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.

A bedbug-related violation was noted in April 2021 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, but this seems to have been resolved as subsequent filings show zero infested dwelling units. The property has primarily faced emergency heat/hot water issues, with all such complaints being marked as "Closed" after investigation. While the building's heat system problems appear to be ongoing, it is worth noting that in each instance of HPD intervention, tenants reported that heat and hot water had been restored by the time of inspection.
