2338 82nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 2338 82nd Street in Gravesend, owned by Yan Nong Mai, has a documented history of various maintenance issues since 2019. Most notably, between January and February 2019, multiple violations were recorded involving water leaks, mold, and wall/ceiling paint conditions, while January 2021 saw another pest-related violation.

The building underwent inspections in 2021 that revealed several concerning safety issues, particularly in apartment 2F, including problems with fire escape access (illegal locking device, obstructing bars), defective locking mechanisms, and the need for proper self-closing doors. Additional violations from this inspection in 2021 involved administrative requirements such as posting the housing registration number and maintaining proper notices regarding gas leak procedures and bedbug reporting. Since then, the bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradication efforts recorded between November 2020 and October 2023, suggesting this particular issue has been resolved.

The most recent violation on record, from February 2022, relates to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports. As of now, there are several open violations from the August 2021 inspection that remain unresolved, including various locking mechanism issues and safety concerns regarding emergency egress. The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a New Law Tenement, and while it has experienced various maintenance challenges, the absence of recent bedbug reports in the mandatory filings indicates some improvement in that specific area.
