545 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

545 82nd Street, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Bay Ridge owned by Konstantinos Tsoukaris, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade. The most significant concerns emerged in late 2016, when violations were documented regarding missing safety equipment in Apartment 3R, including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as missing bathroom ceramic tiles and defective fire-retardant plaster in public areas. These violations were ultimately certified as corrected in October 2018.

In May 2019, the building faced multiple serious violations related to unauthorized construction work, including electrical work without proper permits and the absence of required tenant protection plans during construction, which resulted in fines totaling $4,525. While these violations were resolved, they indicated previous safety and compliance lapses. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past seven years, with all annual reports from 2018 to 2024 showing zero infested units or eradication attempts.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2016 passed, and no further pest-related issues have been reported since. The most recent building activity includes regular annual bedbug reporting through 2024, indicating ongoing compliance with city regulations. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues and construction-related violations, the absence of recent safety violations and pest problems suggests improved maintenance standards have been maintained since 2019.
