747 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 747 East 85th Street in Canarsie, owned by Jumai Adenuga, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2012. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency situation requiring HPD intervention, which resulted in violations that remain open as of this report date. A window guard safety issue was reported in May 2024, though this was resolved within a week of the complaint.

Of particular concern are the recurring violations regarding annual bedbug report filings, with open violations recorded consistently from 2021 through 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building has also had two complaints in 2022 regarding work without permits in occupied multiple dwelling units, though both were investigated and found no warrant for violation. The presence of multiple open violations, particularly related to bedbug reporting requirements, suggests potential deficiencies in the building's maintenance practices.

The most recent heat and hot water issue from January 2025 and the window guard safety problem from May 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with basic building systems and safety features. While the building has had some complaints regarding unauthorized work in 2022, these were resolved without resulting in violations. Overall, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues that could impact resident comfort and safety, with the most recent violations relating to both heat systems and safety features.
