2009 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 36-unit, 4-story tenement at 2009 85th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Mirra Furman, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between December 2024 and February 2025, with some complaints categorized as emergencies. The building also experienced significant water-related issues in 2023, including a heavy flow water leak in September that resulted in violations.
Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several safety concerns, including defective self-closing doors and safety violations related to fire escape access on the 4th story. The property has undergone regular safety inspections over the past three years, including multiple Tenant Safety Inspections in 2022 that resulted in no violations. Earlier issues from 2021 included plumbing problems with a sink/basin and various maintenance concerns.
The building's roof was identified as needing repairs in 2023, particularly affecting Apartment 49. Historical records show some concerns about unsanitary conditions and pest management, though recent bedbug reporting (2022-2024) indicates no infestations. A construction-related Stop Work Order was issued in 2018 but was fully rescinded by 2022. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heating, while recent inspections have focused on safety and compliance issues.
