1737 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1737 80th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Lucyna Domagala, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In April 2025, multiple complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations for electrical problems (outlets/switches and no lighting), wall paint/plaster issues, refrigerating appliance problems, and flooring concerns. Notably, there was an emergency complaint about mold that HPD couldn't inspect due to access issues.

The building's history shows relatively consistent issues with maintenance compliance, with recorded bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2021 through 2024, though previous violations were noted in 2021 and 2022 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports. Other documented problems include a heat and hot water complaint in December 2018 that resulted in no violations. The property has a significant history of illegal curb cut/driveway complaints in late 2018, with one case leading to a violation served in January 2019 for inappropriate sidewalk curb modifications.

While the building passed rodent inspections in 2011, recent records show more frequent electrical and plumbing issues, including multiple violations related to lighting and outlets/switches in 2025. The building's most recent comprehensive inspections suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple violations issued in 2025 across various categories. While not all complaints result in violations, the frequency and variety of recent issues - particularly concerning electrical systems and water damage (mold) - indicate some concerning patterns in building maintenance. The property owner has been given opportunities to correct violations, though specific dates for compliance are available through HPD's online system.
