558 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The six-unit, three-story tenement at 558 82nd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Konstantinos Amaxas, has a concerning pattern of ongoing violations that significantly impact resident safety and maintenance standards. Most notably, there are recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years (2021-2024) - a requirement intended to protect residents from pest infestations.

The building has also received multiple Department of Buildings violations, including a 2024 citation for failing to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection report, which is currently active. A comprehensive inspection in July 2018 identified several safety issues that require attention, including missing safety caps on electrical outlets in public areas, a problematic roof door fit, and the need for proper floor indication signs in the building's public hall.

This inspection also revealed deficiencies in emergency preparedness, such as the need to post gas leak procedures and maintain a notice about housing information guides in both English and Spanish. While these violations are from 2018, their persistence through subsequent inspections suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1922) and these accumulated violations indicate a pattern of maintenance shortcomings that affect basic safety requirements, though it's worth noting that building codes and violation responses may have changed since my last data update in October 2023.
