1278 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1278 85th Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Dyker Heights, owned by Larry Yu and constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement. The property experienced several significant issues in March 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems and an alleged illegal conversion, with inspections occurring on March 7th of that year.

These complaints resulted in Oath Violations being served, specifically related to unauthorized plumbing work including concerns about sprinkler/standpipe systems. A separate plumbing-related violation was issued in March 2022 regarding defective, leaking, or poorly maintained systems, though this was ultimately dismissed in September 2022 after inspection on August 30th found no violations at that time.

Additionally, in March 2022, the building received a violation concerning the lack of proper documentation (GPS-1 form for LL152 inspection) at the time of inspection, though this was also dismissed in September 2022 following subsequent verification. The property has been free of bedbug issues, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts necessary during the 2021-2022 reporting period, and no re-infestation cases were documented. While the building's history shows some significant maintenance and compliance issues in 2022, there have been no reported violations or infestations in the subsequent two years, suggesting improved conditions as of 2023.
