84 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

84 16th Street is a four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Gowanus and constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sean Sica. The most significant recent issues at this property emerged in early 2025, when multiple complaints were filed through 311 regarding various maintenance concerns including flooring problems (affecting both floors and stairs), a bathtub/shower plumbing issue, cabinet concerns, and an unsanitary mold condition.

Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted inspections in response to these complaints but was unable to complete the inspections, and all complaints were ultimately closed in March 2025 with instructions for tenants to refile if issues persisted. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three reporting periods (2023, 2024, and most recently in March 2025), with all units maintaining a status of no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

While the recent complaints indicate multiple maintenance issues that may affect resident comfort and safety, it's important to note that these issues were filed as either non-emergency or emergency complaints. The closure of these complaints without confirmed resolutions suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly given the age of the building and the number of complaints filed simultaneously.
