2695 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

2695 86th Street in Gravesend is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Rui Tang Cen. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance challenges over recent years, with particular attention needed for pest control and sanitation issues.

Most notably, there are recurring open violations related to untimely submission of annual bedbug reports between 2018 and 2024, and an open violation from August 2022 regarding garbage accumulation in the front yard area. The building's heating and hot water system has also been problematic, with a 2019 emergency complaint filed though inspectors were unable to access the units for verification. Additional historical concerns include security and structural issues identified in 2018, such as non-self-closing front entrance doors and mortar joint problems in the parapet wall.

In 2019, there was a significant development regarding plumbing work, with an active violation indicating the Department of Buildings' intention to revoke plumbing work under a specific permit due to a revoked master plumber license, though this was later resolved in 2023 with the issuance of new permits. Noteworthy is that the property has consistently passed rodent inspections, most recently in 2022, following a 2010 inspection that also showed no violations. While many recent complaints have been properly addressed and closed, several open violations remain, particularly concerning the bedbug reporting requirement, which has persisted for multiple inspection cycles from 2018 through 2024.
