85 Arlington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 85 Arlington Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Saul Chernick, is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1910. The most significant recent events in the building's history occurred in late 2023, when three separate complaints were filed in December regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized commercial use of the property.

These complaints, all entered on December 14, 2023, led to inspection attempts in early February 2024, but in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises despite multiple attempts, resulting in "Access Denied" dispositions. Prior to these recent issues, the only recorded inspection of the property was a rodent inspection conducted in June 2012, which the building passed.

The substantial gap between the 2012 inspection and the recent complaints, combined with the pattern of denied access during inspections, suggests ongoing concerns about compliance with residential use requirements and building access protocols. It's important to note that all three 2023 complaints were filed on the same day, indicating a potential pattern of concern reported to authorities, though their resolution status remains technically "closed" due to the lack of access during inspection attempts.
