2852 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The three-unit residential building at 2852 86th Street in Gravesend, owned by Philip Caponegro, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges over the past several years, most notably with rodent infestations. The property has recorded multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2024 and early 2025.
While the January 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" status, the December 2024 inspection noted "Rat Activity." The building also has outstanding Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. Significant historical issues include active Environmental Control Board violations from October 2019 related to illegal conversion and unauthorized construction work, though some of these issues appear to have been resolved without penalty balances due.
Specifically, there was a violation regarding the unauthorized conversion of the residence to accommodate more families than legally approved, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in late 2019 related to construction work and illegal conversion complaints, resulting in a partial vacate order being served. The building's record also shows periodic rodent inspections, with mixed results; while some have passed, others have noted problems requiring attention.
