1086 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1086 Broadway is a 7-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 2009 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jorge Rivera. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints about slow leaks and damp spots reported between 2022 and 2024, including the most recent complaints in August 2024 which were resolved but required tenant follow-up.

The building has faced ventilation system concerns, with a general complaint in August 2023 and another ventilation-related complaint in August 2024 that was temporarily addressed but required further reporting. Of significant note is the active elevator service complaint filed in June 2025 regarding a single elevator device and lack of alternate service, which poses potential accessibility concerns. The building has maintained relatively good pest control standards in recent years, with rodent inspections in 2022-2025 generally passing, though there was one instance of rat activity in July 2022 and a failed inspection in August 2022.

While there were multiple health department complaints regarding tattooing facilities between 2021-2022, these appear to be related to commercial activities in the building rather than residential concerns. The property has shown proactive temperature maintenance, with only one heat/hot water emergency complaint in 2018, and has properly documented its bedbug infestation status, with only one affected unit reported in the 2022-2023 period. Two critical matters remain unresolved: an active DOB violation regarding the failure to submit required exterior wall examination reports (as of April 2024) with a $6,250 penalty, and a 2019 elevator defect violation that is still listed as active.
