2463 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2463 85th Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in Gravesend, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Thanh Nguyen. The building has experienced several significant events over the past five years that warrant attention. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of Bedbug Reporting violations, with Annual Bedbug Reports required by HPD in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though recent filings from 2024 and 2023 indicate no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the respective reporting periods.

In 2022, there was a safety complaint regarding a broken/missing window guard, though this was subsequently closed. The building's history includes two Department of Buildings investigations: one in 2022 regarding an alleged illegal conversion (which could not be verified due to access issues), and another in 2021 concerning an illegal curb cut. The curb cut violation resulted in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $500 penalty related to unpermitted work, though records indicate this violation's balance is now $0.

From a maintenance and safety perspective, the building's recent history shows compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2024 and 2023, though the frequency of related violations in previous years was concerning. The window guard issue from 2022 appears to have been addressed, as did the illegal curb cut situation following the 2021 violation. The building's two most recent violations were both concerning administrative matters (bedbug reporting) rather than health or safety issues, suggesting improved compliance with physical maintenance requirements in recent years. The property's current status as of 2025 indicates a period of relative stability regarding both pest control and building safety requirements, though prospective tenants should be aware of the building's historical challenges with both bedbug reporting compliance and the illegal curb cut situation.
