86 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

86 Livingston Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Majid Kahen. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues, most notably in late 2022 when a cluster of problems emerged simultaneously in November, including heating systems, plumbing, safety concerns with the fire escape, door frame issues, pest problems, mold presence, electrical power problems, and cooking gas concerns. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but no violations were issued.

In July 2022, a violation was recorded regarding flower pots obstructing fire escape egress from the 4th-floor balcony, though this was subsequently certified as corrected. The building's recent history shows some ongoing concerns but with improvements in certain areas. A food spoilage complaint was filed and closed by the Department of Health in early 2025.

The property has maintained a positive record with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, with the last known incident occurring during 2019-2020. Rodent control efforts have been ongoing, with the most recent inspections in March 2025 and April 2024 showing compliance, though there were periods of active rat baiting required in 2018. The building's maintenance history reveals various repairs completed in 2018, including mold remediation, lock repairs, floor repairs, and painting work in Apartment 1 on the second floor. A Department of Buildings inspection in December 2023 found no violations, indicating recent improvements in property maintenance.
