1926 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1926 83rd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Alex Nekhanevich, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years. From November 2024 to December 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some issues were resolved promptly, others remained open, and HPD had difficulty gaining access to verify conditions.

The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns in 2023 and 2024, with reports of chemical vapors or odors that prompted advisories to the owner for correction. Additional safety concerns were noted in December 2023, when violations were issued related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently closed. The property showed signs of pest issues, with non-emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions recorded in July 2023 and again in May 2025.

A potential compliance issue with exterior low pressure inspection requirements was documented in June 2023, showing an active violation for failure to file the 2019 inspection report. Interestingly, there were no reported bedbug incidents during the 2019-2020 reporting period, with zero units affected, suggesting effective management of this particular pest problem since then. Despite these various issues, most complaint resolutions have occurred relatively promptly, though some heat/hot water problems show patterns of recurrence. The building's age (built in 1929) as a New Law Tenement is consistent with its historical designation, and while recent years have seen multiple maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, many of these problems have been addressed through the appropriate channels, though not always with verified resolution through follow-up inspections.
