AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 186 Brinsmade Avenue in Throgs Neck, owned by Brins186 Inc, was constructed in 1950 and has been subject to several notable issues in recent years, particularly during 2022. The building is currently facing three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from March 2022, including illegal conversion-related issues concerning plans and certificates of occupancy, unauthorized residential use of the cellar, and improper plumbing fixtures. In 2022, there was a significant cluster of maintenance issues, including multiple reports of water leaks, mold, heating problems, and various structural concerns. Notably, several Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in 2022 were unable to gain access to the premises to verify complaints, though some inspections did not result in any violations being issued. The building underwent an illegal conversion investigation in 2022 regarding a cellar apartment with unauthorized cooking facilities, which led to a $2,500 Environmental Control Board penalty. While some violations were ultimately dismissed in November 2023 after a vacate order was rescinded, the records indicate the building was improperly occupied as a three-family residence instead of its legal two-family designation. A rodent inspection in 2019 resulted in a passing grade, and a gas utility referral in 2021 was closed due to lack of access for inspection.
