12 Gelston Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 12 Gelston Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Chris Karis, has a documented history of regulatory compliance issues that primarily center around safety inspections and pest management reporting.
The 1925 New Law Tenement has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, as demonstrated by its recent filings in 2025 and 2024 which reported no infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular concern.
However, the building currently has two active violations with the Department of Buildings regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019, which remain unresolved as of July 2025. Notably, between 2021 and 2024, the property received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the need to file annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been resolved since the most recent filings indicate compliance with current reporting requirements, showing no infested or re-infested units during the specified periods.
