86 Congress Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 30-unit, 6-story residential building at 86 Congress Street, constructed in 2009 and owned by 100 Congress Condominium, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were electrical outlet/switch problems that resulted in violations being issued by HPD. The building has undergone multiple inspections and complaints related to its ventilation systems between 2022 and 2024, with some resulting in violations requiring management attention.

Between 2022 and 2024, there were issues with door infrastructure, including problems with self-closing doors in the laundry room that led to violations in 2024. The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations that remain open as of the most recent inspections in 2022, relating to the posting requirements for various safety notices including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures. The building's Department of Buildings history shows several violations regarding the failure to file required energy benchmarking reports between 2019 and 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed.

A 2019 complaint about illegal hotel rooms could not be addressed due to access issues. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any unit from 2019 to the present, as documented in the annual bedbug reporting filings. The property has demonstrated ongoing compliance with various building codes over the years, with most violations being addressed and closed, though several safety notice requirements from 2022 remain open according to the most recent available data.
