The 12-unit, 4-story building at 8602 3rd Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by George Poulakakos, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2019, with the most recent being a heat and hot water problem affecting the entire building in January 2025. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with similar complaints in both 2019 and 2022. There have also been multiple pest-related complaints, including unsanitary conditions involving pests in 2019 and a 2022 DOHMH complaint about rodents/insects/garbage.
The property has several open violations related to lead-based paint hazards from 2022 concerning apartments B3 and C1, and it was cited in 2024 for not maintaining proper bedbug reporting compliance, though previous reports from 2021-2024 show zero infestation cases.

Recent inspection findings include a 2020 violation for carbon monoxide detector requirements and a 2024 violation for unauthorized work on an active job site.
The property has maintained a consistent pattern of responding to and resolving complaints, though access issues have been noted in some inspections. While there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and safety issues, most have been resolved promptly, with concerned parties noting that conditions were corrected upon follow-up. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic building systems is required, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, with more recent violations indicating potential regulatory compliance issues that require monitoring.
