2031 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2031 85th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Thomas Dong, was constructed in 1924 as a New Law tenement. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in 2022 and most recently in April 2024, both related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

However, the bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2024 show no actual infestations in the building during the reporting periods, with consistently recorded infested dwelling unit counts, eradicated unit counts, and re-infested unit counts all recorded as zero. In terms of other building issues, there was one complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in September 2018 regarding permit matters, though this complaint was investigated and closed in November 2018 with no violation warranted at the time of inspection.

While the bedbug reporting compliance issues are notable, the absence of documented infestations over the past several years suggests effective pest management when required reporting procedures are followed. The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 confirms a continued lack of infestations, though it should be noted that this filing was connected to a previous compliance violation from April 2024.
