83 Legion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 83 Legion Street in Brownsville, owned by Omid Mashieh and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building currently has an open complaint with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, filed in June 2025.

Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple water-related issues, including four complaints about heavy flow leaks and one about slow leaks, with several requiring emergency response. The building underwent several inspections between 2020 and 2024 that revealed various violations, including issues with mold (specifically in Apartment 2's kitchen), rotted wood subflooring on the second story, and multiple problems in the public hall areas requiring repairs and repainting. The property has open violations related to building code compliance as of 2024, including failure to file annual bedbug reports, though there was one reporting period in 2022-2023 that showed no infested units.

Earlier violations from 2020 remain unresolved, including requirements to properly repair fire-retardant ceilings, maintain proper building registration signage, and address various maintenance issues in public areas. While the building passed a rodent inspection in January 2017, the pattern of moisture-related problems and recent pest complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Many of the earlier complaints, particularly from 2019-2020, were either closed without violations or due to inability to gain access for inspection, indicating some historical difficulties with inspection access.
