38 Bay 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

38 Bay 26th Street is a 6-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1934 and currently owned by Konstantinos Bakalis. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being safety concerns. In early 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various conditions, including a broken window guard (which resulted in violations being issued), painted surfaces in need of attention, and door/window issues - though inspections found only one violation related to the broken window guard.

The building has three active Dept. of Buildings violations from 2019-2020, one of which from 2021 regarding energy efficiency display requirements was dismissed. The property has undergone multiple inspections and maintenance interventions, with particular attention required to electrical systems (resulting in several violations and repair requirements in apartments 2G and 5F).

A notable rodent infestation was documented in 2022 in apartment 2G, and there have been recurring bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2023-2024 show no infested units. While some repairs were documented as completed, including from an emergency situation in apartment 5F, there have been ongoing issues with building systems requiring attention. The most recent complaints filed in 2025 included a smoking violation in a prohibited area. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to safety and habitability concerns, with some issues being resolved while others remain recurring concerns.
