310 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 3-story, 4-unit building at 310 86th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by James Vavas and built in 1925, has had several notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning is an active 2024 complaint regarding obstructed fire escapes, which was issued a substantial penalty of $1,250 and involves obstructions from both the first and second floors, including an awning affecting the commercial space.
The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, receiving violation notices between 2021-2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2024-2025 reporting period indicates no infested units. There have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding boiler issues in 2020, including two separate complaints in March and May for defective/inoperative conditions that resulted in Oath Violations. An illegal advertising sign complaint from 2024 is currently under review.
The building's environmental violations from 2020 highlight significant safety system concerns, including problems with the fire safety system, boiler defects, and storage violations in the boiler room, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a regular pattern of addressing violations and submitting required documentation, as evidenced by the recent bedbug reporting showing no current infestations. The most recent 311 service call from April 2025 regarding smoking in a prohibited area was investigated by the NYC Health Department, though the exact resolution details were not specified in the data provided.
