1117 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1117 72nd Street in Dyker Heights, currently owned by Alexandros Bakalis, has shown several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most significant events occurring in early 2022. On March 4, 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, flooring, wall conditions (paint/plaster), electrical outlets/switches, plumbing (specifically related to a basin/sink), window frames, and a water leak.

While most of these complaints were closed without any violations being issued, violations were documented for the plumbing issue. A subsequent inspection on March 6, 2022, revealed additional violations in apartment 2F related to a defective drain line under the bathroom wash basin and inadequate wall paint, both of which remain open as of the latest records. The building has required multiple submissions of bedbug reports, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no infested units, which indicates successful eradication efforts in previous years.

The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all filings showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units since 2020. More recent violations were noted in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these appear to be procedural rather than indicating an active infestation problem. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that many complaints have been resolved without violations, and there is currently no active infestation status, suggesting improvement in overall maintenance and compliance standards.
