2353 81st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
2353 81st Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Gravesend and constructed in 1923. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems emerging in late 2024 when multiple HPD complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, mold, pest infestations, and various paint/plaster issues affecting ceilings and walls.
These complaints, along with others related to plumbing (including water supply and radiator problems) and window frames, created a pattern of maintenance challenges during this period. The situation appeared to persist into 2025, with additional Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding mold, wall damage, window frame issues, and plumbing problems, though these were subsequently marked as closed by May 2025.
The building has several open violations from a September 2024 inspection, primarily involving apartment 3F, including issues with self-closing doors, defective plaster and paint surfaces, carbon monoxide detector malfunction, smoke detector problems, and fire escape door concerns. Two active violations related to low-pressure inspection filings from 2023 and 2021 remain unresolved as of the latest information available. While a complaint regarding work without a permit from March 2024 was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access, the building has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing them in both 2013 and 2024, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021.
