749 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, three-unit building at 749 East 85th Street in Canarsie, owned by Parish Mcmillan, has experienced multiple maintenance issues since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there are persistent open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, which have remained unaddressed from 2021 through 2024.

In 2024, the building faced several significant issues, including an emergency-level water leak with heavy flow and flooring problems, as well as pest-related concerns that were classified as non-emergency but still warranted attention. More recently, in 2025, there were complaints regarding janitorial services and garbage/recycling storage conditions, though both these complaints were investigated and found not to violate housing laws, resulting in their closure.

The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive management, with most complaints being resolved only after official intervention. The persistent bedbug report violation potentially suggests ongoing challenges with tenancy compliance, though the nature of this violation relates to documentation rather than a direct impact on resident living conditions. The most recent complaints in 2025, while not resulting in found violations, suggest continuing concerns about building maintenance and sanitation standards, particularly given the previous history of unsanitary conditions and water leakage issues.
