1935 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 6-story, 48-unit building at 1935 83rd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Marc Katz and constructed in 1938, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, recent complaints and violations have centered around waste management, fire safety, and general maintenance, including multiple violations related to compactor closet door functionality, unsafe garbage storage conditions, and fire escape maintenance. The building underwent inspections revealing various violations in 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape functionality, and sanitation conditions, though many of these violations were subsequently closed after correction.
Structural concerns have also emerged, with an active DOB violation from September 2024 citing facade deterioration, bulging parapet wall, and issues with masonry work. The building's elevator system has required attention as evidenced by past ECB violations between 2018-2020 regarding broken components and maintenance issues. More recent issues include a chemical odors complaint in late 2024, an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests, and several 311 complaints regarding various maintenance matters. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring, with the past three reporting periods showing no infestations, though there were two units with infestations recorded in 2021.
While the building has faced multiple DOHMH and HPD inspections, many complaints were found not to violate housing laws or were promptly addressed. The elevator system, in particular, has been a recurring focus of both DOB and ECB violations, with inspections revealing various operational issues requiring repair or maintenance. Despite these challenges, the building has generally responded to inspection findings, with many violations being addressed and closed through proper remediation. The most recent environmental inspections have shown some concerning conditions, including obstructed fire escapes and facade deterioration, affecting both safety and maintenance standards.
