1451 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1451 82nd Street is a 2-family, 2-story residential building in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, owned by Franca Iacono and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during 2020, when multiple emergency violations were documented, including mold problems, plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and sink), electrical problems (outlet/switch), and flooring concerns.

Notably, there are currently open violations from 2020 affecting both the first floor apartments, including issues with mold in bathroom tiles, leaky faucets, defective electrical outlets, and missing carbon monoxide detectors. The building's systems have also faced challenges, with documented heat/hot water problems in 2019 and multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, though some of these inspections were unable to gain access to the premises.

Two notable complaints regarding unauthorized modifications were filed in 2019 and 2020: one for illegal conversion of the space with construction of additional rooms and bathroom facilities, and another for work done without proper permits, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $1,250 penalty. The property has maintained basic compliance with rodent control, achieving a passing inspection in 2017. While many previous complaints have been resolved, the persistence of some open violations, particularly those related to safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors, merits attention.
