1869 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

1869 83rd Street, a 6-story, 83-unit residential building constructed in 1956 and currently owned by Zachary Kerr, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there have been multiple building-wide heat and hot water complaints in recent years, with the latest complaints occurring in January 2025 and November 2024, though inspections were unable to confirm the reported problems. A significant Health Code violation was documented in October 2022 regarding scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 1A, which was certified as corrected by October 2022.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in six consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024, though all affected units were reported as eradicated. A mouse sighting complaint was filed in October 2023, but the inspection could not be completed. The building has had elevator safety concerns, with two complaints filed in mid-2019 regarding the single device elevator system and no alternate service, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation for various elevator-related issues including oil leaks, inoperative lights, and maintenance concerns, though these were resolved with a $620 penalty.

Historical maintenance records show periodic heat and hot water service disruptions dating back to 2018, with similar complaints appearing throughout 2022-2025. A notable housing maintenance violation from February 2018 documented a roach infestation in Apartment 1P, which was subsequently addressed. The building's management has generally responded to violations, with most being closed or resolved, including significant elevator maintenance issues documented between 2019-2022, and an earlier water temperature violation from 2022.
