1902 81st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The four-story, 31-unit tenement building at 1902 81st Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Konstantinos Hotzoglou, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1924. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the late filing of its annual bedbug report.

This follows a pattern of persistent non-compliance with energy efficiency requirements, as evidenced by four ongoing violations between 2020-2023 regarding the failure to display the required energy efficiency score and grade, and one violation from August 2020 concerning the benchmarking report of energy use. A significant incident occurred in May 2025, when a complaint about building shaking/vibrating/structural stability was filed and resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The building's bedbug history shows a concerning pattern, with all 31 units affected during the 2019-2020 reporting period, though subsequent reports from 2020-2025 indicate no new infestations or re-infestations.

The most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 for the 2023-2024 period shows no infected or eradicated units. Additionally, the building underwent an initial rodent inspection in January 2016, which it passed. While the building has maintained relatively few active violations in recent years, the persistent energy efficiency infractions and recent structural complaint warrant attention to the building's maintenance practices and regulatory compliance.
