2133 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, two-unit building at 2133 82nd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Shimon Hess and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable incidents over the past years. Most significantly, in 2019, there were serious violations regarding gas piping, with illegal rerouting of gas lines from one meter to another previously shut-off system, leading to immediate safety concerns and the utility company being called in for intervention. While these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed, they were classified as immediately hazardous (Class 1) and required correction certification, though these specific DOB violations were later dismissed in March 2020.

In recent years, the building has also faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance. From 2021 through 2024, the property received four Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations have been closed. According to the most recent bedbug report filed in April 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023), the building reported no infested dwelling units, no units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation.

This follows a similar pattern in the 2022 report (covering 2020-2021), which also indicated no bedbug activity. These reports suggest that while there were previous compliance issues, the building has been functioning without current bedbug problems since 2022, with all violations now addressed. Current as of July 2025, this building has resolved its major safety issues from 2019 and appears to be adhering to bedbug reporting requirements, though it experienced repeating compliance violations during the reporting period.
