85 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238
85 Eastern Parkway is a 6-story, 41-unit residential building located in Prospect Heights, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Hector Ortiz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints logged between 2022 and 2025, including two recent entire-building heat complaints in May 2025 that resulted in HPD violations. There are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2023 affecting apartment 4G, including issues with ceiling and wall surfaces in both the kitchen and bathroom, a possibly unauthorized drop ceiling in the bathroom, and various required repairs to surfaces and fixtures.
The building has also faced electricity-related problems, including a power outage in August 2024, and has undergone multiple inspections for rodent and pest control, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing. Recent Department of Buildings activity shows several active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, though inspectors have repeatedly been unable to gain access for verification. Historical records indicate various building systems concerns, including an April 2018 elevator safety violation regarding a door zone restrictor.
The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of heat/hot water complaints, while recent bedbug and rodent inspection records suggest improved pest control conditions, with no bedbug reports and passing rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The property has undergone several plumbing-related inspections and work stoppages between 2018 and 2021, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The building's overall condition shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly related to heating systems, though recent improvements in pest control and rodent management are notable.
