Augrented Insights Report for 85 St Marks Place

The five-story, 8-unit tenement building at 85 St. Marks Place, owned by Farajollah Benji, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns currently being two open 311 complaints (as of April 2025) regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. The property has a concerning pattern of unresolved maintenance documentation, with multiple active violations issued in 2023 for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2019 through 2022, and an outstanding violation from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report.

Two bedbug-related violations from 2022-2024 remain open regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water emergency complaint in December 2024 where HPD was unable to gain apartment access for inspection, and multiple rodent-related issues, though recent inspections (2024-2025) have shown passing results. Several 311 complaints have been made regarding unsanitary conditions and garbage storage, with a 2019 complaint about egress issues that resulted in no violations being found.

While the building passed multiple rodent inspections in 2024-2025, there was evidence of rat activity and bait application in 2023. The property's bedbug reporting history shows zero infested units for the 2019-2020 filing period, with no reported re-infestations. The owner has made attempts to address some violations and complaints, as evidenced by closed complaints and passed inspections, but several significant issues remain outstanding as of 2025.
