85A Summit Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
85A Summit Street is a three-story, two-unit old law tenement building located in the Columbia Street neighborhood, owned by Louis Ramos and constructed in 1901. The building has a concerning and persistent pattern of housing maintenance code violations, with four open violations from 2021 through 2024, all relating to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations. These violations suggest a pattern of non-compliance with established housing codes over multiple years, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.
Additionally, the building faced an environmental control board violation in February 2021 regarding improper vent/exhaust discharge, which was resolved with no penalties imposed. This violation, while addressed, highlighted issues with building maintenance and code compliance at that time. The building's recent history (2021-2025) shows a concerning lack of compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding pest management documentation.
The repeated nature of the open bedbug report violations across multiple years, continuing into 2024, indicates an ongoing issue with adherence to housing maintenance requirements. While the exhaust vent violation from 2021 was resolved, it still points to challenges with maintaining building code compliance. It is worth noting that all these violations are categorized as "class A," which typically denotes less serious violations compared to "class B" or "class C" violations, though their open status over multiple years remains significant.
