713 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, 24-unit apartment building at 713 East 85th Street in Canarsie, owned by Eric Beckford, has maintained relatively good conditions since its construction in 1990. While there were significant housing maintenance code violations identified in 2018, these appear to be concentrated in a single unit (Apartment 400) where multiple issues were documented between February and April 2018, including the need to repair or replace defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices, and to address pest infestations involving mice and roaches.

There was also a plumbing issue involving leaky faucets in the bathroom bathtub. Interestingly, despite these violations being logged between February and April 2018, they remained open with no certified dates for resolution, though the building's record does not show any subsequent violations of this nature.

The building has maintained a clean slate in recent years, with no mentioned pest issues since 2018 and an impressive record of bedbug reporting, showing zero infestations in the past five consecutive reporting periods from 2020 through December 2024. The only other recorded complaint was filed in December 2019 regarding an egress issue, though this was promptly closed and referred to the Department of Transportation on the same day. Given the lengthy period with no significant violations or pest issues, it appears that the earlier maintenance problems may have been resolved, though the ongoing open status of the 2018 violations is notable.
