1528 84th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-family home at 1528 84th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Ruiyu Jiang, was constructed in 1955 and stands two stories tall. The most significant incident on record occurred in December 2020, when an emergency heat and hot water complaint was filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

During the inspection on December 16, 2020, two notable violations were identified in Basement Apartment 1: one related to excessively hot water temperatures exceeding the legal maximum of 130 degrees at all hot water fixtures, and another concerning a missing carbon monoxide detecting device, which is a critical safety requirement. While both violations were officially closed (with the hot water issue being certified as resolved on December 29, 2020, and the CO detector violation on January 5, 2021), the incident underscores previous concerns about building safety systems and temperature control. In addition to the December 2020 issues, the building has had at least one other documented service complaint, though not leading to violations: a heater/hot water issue was reported on December 14, 2020, which was closed two days later without citations.

A subsequent housing maintenance code violation of unwarranted basement occupancy was issued on May 4, 2021, despite the unit being legally listed as a two-family house. While important to note, this particular violation has since been closed and is not relevant to current occupancy status. The most recent records show that no violations or complaints have been filed against this property in the past two years (2023-2025), though the building's age and previous heating system challenges may warrant attention to these systems moving forward.
