2025 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-family residence at 2025 80th Street in Bensonhurst, built in 1925 and currently owned by Chaim Stefansky, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years. The property has an ongoing bedbug reporting violation that has persisted since 2021, with the most recent notice issued in April 2024 requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report with HPD.

Two major concerns emerged in 2024 regarding the cellar area: illegal modification violations were documented in February for both unlawful cooking space (electric stove) and unauthorized living space (bathroom fixtures including water closet, shower stall, wash basin, and sink). A subsequent complaint about an illegal conversion in February 2024 was closed due to inspector inability to gain access. The building has also faced infrastructure modification issues, including an Environmental Control Board violation in November 2024 for removing the front yard planting area and replacing it with concrete without proper permits, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property's pest management situation has been challenging, with multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests in early 2024, including some instances where inspectors could not gain access to evaluate the reported conditions. While a rodent compliance inspection in April 2024 resulted in a "Passed" rating, a failed inspection in March 2024 for "Other Reasons" suggests ongoing pest management issues. The building has also faced two illegal curb cut violations (2022 and 2023), with one resulting in an Oath violation served in 2024.
