1057 East 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1057 East 83rd Street in Canarsie, owned by Aron Halpert and constructed in 1960, has experienced several notable incidents and violations, with the most significant events occurring in December 2020. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, water leaks, and unsanitary mold conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued following their inspections.

More seriously, two Class B Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented on December 4, 2020, related to illegal plumbing and cooking facilities in the basement, which remain open as of the current date. The building has an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from December 2020, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed for illegal occupancy modifications in the basement, including unauthorized partitions creating a Class A apartment, along with unlawful gas range and kitchen sink installations, and a complete bathroom with fixtures.

A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed with the Department of Buildings on December 4, 2020, though access was denied during the inspection attempts. Prior to these incidents, the building underwent a rodent inspection in December 2011, which passed without issues. The current status of the building includes unresolved violations from 2020, potentially indicating ongoing compliance challenges with housing regulations.
