2334 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement at 2334 82nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Nicholas Kostopoulos, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2020-2021. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water outages throughout late 2020 and into 2021, with residents reporting problems between October 2020 and April 2021, though in most cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time inspectors arrived.

There was also a concerning series of appliance-related complaints in 2021, primarily concerning electric/gas ranges and a refrigerator, with one refrigerator complaint (October 2021) being closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building has faced some safety compliance issues, particularly in Apartment 1, where violations were documented in mid-2021 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and door-related safety concerns.

While many violations were eventually closed, some, including problems with self-closing doors and defective vinyl floor tiles, remained open as of the most recent inspection records. The building's pest history shows one documented bedbug incident in 2020-2021, with no reported infestations in subsequent years, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024. While the heat/hot water issues and appliance concerns indicate some maintenance challenges, the lack of recent infestation reports and the resolution of many safety violations suggest improvements in building conditions in the past few years.
