689 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

This three-story, two-family house located at 689 86th Street in Bay Ridge, built in 1923 and owned by Selma Lalicic, experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2019 that required multiple emergency responses. During November-December 2019, the building faced serious electrical safety concerns, with multiple violations issued including exposed wiring in the second-floor apartment kitchen, failure to ground and bond electrical systems, over-fused circuit protection, and unsafe electrical equipment conditions.

These violations resulted in penalties totaling $15,400, though records indicate they were later resolved. The same apartment suffered from various maintenance issues that winter, including heat/hot water problems, defective light fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom, a broken door, and pest infestation (roaches), along with missing safety features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently addressed and certified by February 2020.

The building's most recent bedbug report from January 2025 indicates no infestation during the 2023-2024 period, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. Following the 2019-2020 violations and emergency repairs, there have been no recorded major maintenance complaints or safety incidents, suggesting a period of relative stability. Notably, there were also violations related to failure to properly certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions in 2020, though these were eventually dismissed in April 2021.
