524 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The four-unit, four-story building at 524 86th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by Demetrios Gabriel, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing issues since 2019. The property is currently facing four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

There is also a concerning pattern of food-related complaints, with food poisoning incidents reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in October 2023 and October 2021, both determined to be isolated incidents but warranting annual food establishment inspections. Between 2019 and 2024, there were nine documented smoking violations, all of which were administratively closed after the issues were addressed. A complaint filed in April 2021 regarding work without a permit was marked closed on the same day when inspectors were unable to gain access to the property.

Most notably, there seems to be a recurring issue with bedbug report compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. While the building has maintained valid certificates of occupancy and has been classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A," the persistence of these bedbug report violations over multiple years indicates a potential oversight in meeting this particular housing maintenance requirement. Additionally, the property has experienced two food poisoning complaints, one very recently in October 2023, which led to an investigation by the Health Department's Office of Environmental Investigations.
