270 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

270 86th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Fort Hamilton and owned by Peter Haviaras. Built in 1923, the property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident throughout late 2018, when there were seven documented complaints between October and February 2019, all indicating problems with building-wide heat and hot water availability.

Despite emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), these issues appear to have persisted over several months, with tenants reportedly stating that services were restored at the time of inspection. The building has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2018, all associated with Apartment 2B, regarding a defective door lock, missing oven control knob, and damaged plastered surfaces, though there is also one complaint related to notification posting requirements in the public hall.

A single door/window-related complaint from August 2018 also indicates access issues during inspection. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all recent filings (from 2019 through January 2025) indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent building data, including bedbug reports, suggests no current widespread pest issues or heating system problems, though the open violations from 2018 warrant noting.
