8618 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

8618 3rd Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1925 in the Fort Hamilton neighborhood, currently owned by John Papdimitropulos. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most pressing being an open violation from April 2024 regarding non-compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirement, a pattern that has persisted annually since at least 2021.

The building's health and safety record shows recurring food establishment issues, including a recent food poisoning complaint in February 2024 (deemed isolated by the Department of Health), a food worker hygiene violation from May 2023, and a bare hands food handling violation from April 2020. During the 2021 COVID-19 pandemic, there were two documented incidents of vaccine mandate non-compliance in December 2021, though these were promptly addressed by health authorities.

The property appears to be facing ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding pest management reporting requirements and food safety protocols. As of April 2025, there is also an active complaint regarding an illegal storefront or business sign, though details and outcomes of this complaint are not yet available in the records. While the building's age and history as a New Law Tenement classifies it under this specific designation, the most immediate concerns for current and prospective tenants center around the pattern of missed bedbug reporting requirements and repeated food safety incidents.
