1737 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, two-unit New Law Tenement building at 1737 85th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Annabel Li, has experienced recurring electrical issues throughout 2024, including four separate no-lighting complaints in January, March, and May, as well as a power outage incident in April. While no violations were issued for the power outage, the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department was unable to gain access to inspect the no-lighting complaints in multiple instances.

The building also received an "A" class violation in April 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though previous such violations in 2021-2023 had been resolved. The property has maintained an otherwise clean record regarding infestations, with no bedbug cases reported in the most recent filings from 2024, and a passed rodent inspection from 2011.

The building has had some Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints in 2022 regarding work without a permit and building permits, but no violations were warrantable at the time of inspection in all cases. While the electrical issues represent the most significant recent concerns, particularly given their recurring nature, it's worth noting that these were handled through appropriate service channels, with inspections conducted where access was granted. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historical context within the Bensonhurst neighborhood.
