1664 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1664 85th Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Charles Pomo, was constructed in 1919. The property has had several significant maintenance and safety-related incidents in recent years, most notably in December 2021 when a window guard safety complaint was filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During this inspection, two Class C violations were issued for Apartment 1L related to lead-based paint hazard notifications and records compliance, though the window guard complaint was closed without any violations being issued. In April 2021, a Class A violation was recorded for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this was subsequently closed. The building's bedbug reporting record (2021-2024) shows consistent compliance, with zero reported infested or re-infested units in the past four reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management practices.

Prior to this, in 2011, the property underwent a successful rodent inspection. While the lead paint-related violations from late 2021 remain open, recent inspections and reporting indicate improved compliance with both pest control and safety requirements in subsequent years. The building's documented history since 2021 suggests a pattern of addressing maintenance and safety issues, though with occasional violations requiring correction, particularly related to lead paint notification requirements.
