86 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-unit building at 86 Eldert Street in Bushwick, owned by Izabel Lam and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Between July and November 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with HPD inspectors repeatedly unable to gain access for verification. Additionally, there was a door-related complaint in September 2019, following a November 2019 citation for an illegal double cylinder lock on the building entrance.

More recently, the building had recurrent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving Class A violation notices in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2021-2025 show no reported infestations, with the most recent filings indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The building's permit history shows several work permits issued in 2019 and 2020, including electrical and plumbing work. There have been consistent rodent inspection passes from 2012 through 2025, suggesting general pest control measures are being maintained.

The most recent departmental interactions have been predominantly routine, with a successful rodent inspection in March 2025. While the building experienced significant heating system issues in 2019, these appear to have been isolated incidents, and there have been no new complaints of this nature in recent years. The property currently shows no active violations or pending complaints as of October 2023, and the bedbug reporting compliance appears to be properly maintained based on the most recent filings.
