2027 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 2027 85th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Maria Sorbara, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly focused around May 2023 and October 2024. Recent issues of concern include multiple emergency violations in November 2024 for Apartment 2R, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a pest infestation (cockroaches), and problems with self-closing doors.

Water-related issues in 2023 involved complaints about the entire building's heat and hot water system, along with plumbing and water supply problems, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has also faced door/window problems in 2023, with some violations recorded. The roof's condition was highlighted in recent violations, showing ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has a concerning history of safety and maintenance issues, including the presence of visible mold in the bathroom, broken plaster surfaces, and pest infestations. While some inspections resulted in "no violation warranted" findings, such as electrical wiring issues in 2019, the overall pattern suggests persistent maintenance challenges. Notably, the bedbug reporting for 2021-2022 indicated no infestations during that period, and rodent inspections in 2011 and 2019 show mixed results, with one failing inspection in 2019 for "Other Reasons." The building's age (constructed in 1924) and history of violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, with the most recent issues focusing on basic safety systems and infrastructure conditions.
