1938 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The four-story New Law Tenement at 1938 82nd Street in Bensonhurst, built in 1928 and currently owned by John Psaras, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2024. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding refrigerator issues, with violations issued in two separate cases (January 2025 and June 2024).
Other 2024 incidents included problems with an electric/gas range, plumbing issues (sink), and deteriorating ceiling conditions, though no violations were found upon inspection in some cases. A notable set of violations was documented in September 2024, including concerns about a locked door at the first-story lobby, broken fire-retardant materials in the ceiling, and the need for proper lighting and safety equipment. The building experienced some significant issues in 2023 as well, including reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in April 2023, which are considered emergency conditions.
Additional complaints from 2023 included a slow water leak and pest issues, though these were resolved without violations being issued. The building's inspection history reveals several open violations from 2024, primarily affecting apartment 3C, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, kitchen cabinet issues, and various maintenance concerns. However, the building appears to have maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years according to the mandatory bedbug reporting system, with the most recent reports from 2019 through 2023 indicating zero infested units.
