Augrented Insights Report for 402 85th Street

The 6-story, 61-unit New Law Tenement at 402 85th Street in Bay Ridge, built in 1927 and currently owned by Michael Levis, has experienced significant maintenance and safety concerns throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there was a power outage reported in May 2025, along with multiple unresolved complaints related to building systems and maintenance issues, including problems with the bell/intercom system, garbage storage, and cooking gas (April 2025), as well as violations related to flooring and wall conditions (April 2025) for which HPD inspections resulted in issued violations requiring corrective action.

The building has multiple open elevator-related violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB), with penalties totaling $36,814 related to various safety concerns including misaligned doors, inoperative systems, and maintenance issues, most recently documented in 2024-2025. Additionally, there are four active ECB violations from 2022-2024 indicating serious safety compliance issues, including missing required equipment and maintenance concerns with penalties ranging from $1,250 to $12,500. Recent inspection records from 2024-2025 show multiple instances of non-compliance with safety requirements, including four violations in Basement Apartment 1 related to missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and defective self-closing doors (December 2024).

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with inspection access, as demonstrated by multiple situations where HPD inspectors were unable to conduct inspections in response to complaints, leading to closed cases with instructions for tenants to resubmit requests. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods. While the building has shown some responsiveness to certain violations through closures with corrective actions, many recent complaints and violations remain unresolved as of mid-2025, indicating ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance.
