1472 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, three-unit building at 1472 Bay Ridge Parkway in Bensonhurst, owned by Simeon Karakatsiotis and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are two active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

While previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were resolved, the current open violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges. Interestingly, the building's documented bedbug reporting for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 showed no infested or previously infested units, indicating some confusion or inconsistency between actual infestation status and reporting compliance.

The building has experienced two complaints requiring Department of Buildings inspections during the last four years, though neither resulted in any violations. A March 2022 complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues was investigated and found to have no warrant for violation, and a gas utility referral complaint from April 2021 was similarly closed without any violations being warranted. While the absence of violations from these complaints could be viewed positively, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant regulatory compliance issue in the building's recent history as of 2025.
