690 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, three-unit building at 690 85th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Helen Panagiotakis, was constructed in 1925 and currently holds several notable health and safety concerns as of July 2025. The property has four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, indicating a recurring compliance issue with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Most significantly, there have been multiple health-related complaints regarding the property, particularly focused on animal sanitation issues, with nine complaints recorded between July 2022 and 2023.

While these complaints were investigated and did not result in violations during some inspections, they suggest ongoing concerns about property maintenance. Additionally, there were two separate incidents of mold reported in July 2022, though inspections resulted in corrected conditions. The building has been subject to regular rodent inspections, all of which passed (2021, 2022, and most recently in June 2023), indicating successful pest management in this area.

The most recent health-related complaint was filed in May 2023 regarding unsanitary animal conditions, though no violations were found during the inspection. The repeated nature of animal sanitation complaints in 2022, along with the bedbug reporting violations, suggests persistent challenges with property management and maintenance. However, it's worth noting that the property has consistently passed rodent inspections, demonstrating compliance with one important aspect of health code requirements. The building's records also show consistent occupancy of its three units, with the owner maintaining historical property classification as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A."
