82 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

82 Marion Street, a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been persistent pest problems, particularly involving rodents and roaches, with multiple complaints from 2023 through 2025, including current active violations regarding roach infestations in Apartment 3R. The building has also faced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in both January and November 2024, though inspections did not consistently confirm violations.

The property shows concerning maintenance patterns, including multiple open violations as of 2024 related to building safety, such as a defective fire escape, problematic door closures, and numerous violations regarding the improper storage of items in common areas. There are also active violations from September 2024 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure system inspections. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvement with passed results, historical data from 2019 to present indicates ongoing challenges with both rodent and pest management.

The building's bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 shows no infestations, but this is a positive note amidst the various other maintenance concerns. The building's mechanical systems have a documented history of issues, including a 2019 violation regarding boiler operation and safety equipment, though this appears to have been resolved. The property management has demonstrated variable responsiveness to complaints, with some inspections being unable to access units for verification of reported issues. Despite some recent compliance passes for rodent inspections, the overall pattern of recurring violations and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control.
