557 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
This three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 557 82nd Street in Bay Ridge, built in 1928 and owned by Theodore Vallas, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems. The most recent service requests in 2025 show at least three separate complaints about heating problems, with violations issued in May 2025 that require follow-up by the property owner.
A concerning cluster of emergency maintenance issues in March 2025 included problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, window safety, door security, and the presence of mold and pests. The building has three active violations from a November 2024 inspection, relating to safety and maintenance requirements including broken floor tiles, missing signage, and other structural concerns. An outstanding June 2023 violation regarding external low-pressure inspection filing remains open.
The building has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention, including multiple heat and hot water problems, window frame violations, and various building safety concerns. While recent inspections in 2024 showed some complaints had no violations issued, others resulted in citations that are still pending resolution. The property had no documented bedbug issues between 2017-2018 and passed a rodent inspection in 2016, though this pattern of heating and maintenance complaints suggests ongoing property management challenges.
