515 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement at 515 82nd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Merope Likokas, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning rodent activity. Between January and April 2023, there were multiple reports of rat sightings, though most were linked to earlier complaints and only one resulted in an initial inspection showing rat activity. Subsequent inspections in June 2023 and February 2023 passed without violations.

The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, which should be addressed. While there was a violation in early 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, it has since been resolved, and the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The property, constructed in 1928, has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested units.

The rodent situation appears to have improved following the inspections in early 2023, with two subsequent inspections passing without findings. The building's housing maintenance and inspection records indicate attention to compliance, particularly in recent years, though the two active violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings remain a concern. The most recent available data suggests that while there have been pest control challenges, particularly in early 2023, the situation has stabilized, with no recent complaints or violations of similar nature.
