2141 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2141 85th Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Bensonhurst, owned by Rosario Minardi and constructed in 1926 as a New Law tenement. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report from January 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units for the 2022-2023 period, following the same pattern for the previous year (2021-2022).

Two violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these have since been resolved. The building has a history of safety and maintenance violations dating back several decades, with the most significant recent issue being exterior entrance lighting. In 2014, a violation was recorded regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, specifically requiring a minimum of 100 watts of incandescent light from sunset to sunrise.

This was a recurring concern, as a similar violation was documented in 1986. Earlier violations included a 2004 mandate to repaint all walls and ceilings in public halls with light-colored paint, though this was subsequently addressed. While these historical violations are noteworthy, it's important to note that they have all been closed and resolved, and the building's recent bedbug reporting history suggests improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
