981 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236
The three-unit residential building at 981 East 85th Street in Canarsie, owned by Avellina Romain, is a three-story structure built in 1970 and classified as a two-family house.
The property's most significant recorded incident occurred in March 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply issues and plumbing problems that were determined to be emergency situations. These complaints, which were documented with both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations, were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were ultimately issued and the cases were closed in April 2022.
Another notable event in the building's recent history was a complaint filed with the Department of Buildings in March 2022 regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property, though this inspection on May 23, 2022, was marked by no access to the premises on the second attempt, resulting in a closed status with no determination of the alleged conversion. As of the current date in July 2025, these represent the only major incidents on record for this property, with no documented violations or complaints in the past three years since the plumbing issues were resolved.
