1730 80th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1730 80th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Vincent Amato and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced multiple safety-related incidents in recent years, with the most notable cluster of complaints occurring in August 2023, including issues with window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors.

While these safety complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and generally resulted in no violations being issued (except for pest-related issues), they highlight recurring safety concerns, particularly with window guard compliance, as evidenced by similar complaints in 2019 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and outstanding violations as of late 2023. Recent inspections have identified several areas requiring attention, including lead paint compliance requirements in apartments 1R and 3R (class B violations), missing or defective window guards throughout public areas, inadequate exterior and interior lighting, and maintenance issues such as a defective vestibule door lock and problems with a bulkhead door to the roof exit.

Notably, the building has filed three consecutive bedbug reports between 2022-2025 indicating no infestations during the reporting period, and passed a rodent inspection in 2011. While many violations from recent inspections have been resolved, the presence of open violations regarding lead paint compliance suggests ongoing regulatory requirements. The building's age and history of safety-related complaints regarding detectors and window guards indicate that regular maintenance and safety checks may be required to ensure resident safety and compliance with current housing codes.
