2382 84th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, 4-unit residential building at 2382 84th Street in Gravesend, owned by Simon Liao and constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water system reliability over the past five years. There have been three documented complaints regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, with the most recent occurrence in April 2023.

While in each instance the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was informed that the issues had been resolved, the pattern suggests ongoing maintenance concerns with the building's heating infrastructure. The property has also faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. However, records indicate no actual bedbug infestations have occurred, as evidenced by the bedbug filings showing zero infested units in all reporting periods from 2020 through 2025.

Additionally, the building experienced safety compliance issues in 2019 related to scaffolding during exterior work, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations concerning improper maintenance of supported scaffolds and unqualified workers. These violations carried a penalty of $2,500, though records indicate this was resolved without any remaining balance due. The building's documentation shows that all identified violations have been closed, and no new major complaints have been filed since the last bedbug report in May 2025.
