1017 East 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

This three-story, 33-unit residential building at 1017 East 86th Street in Canarsie, built in 1993 and currently owned by In 78073 LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, as of 2025, there have been recent complaints about rodent activity (April 2025) and heating/hot water issues throughout the building (March 2025), both of which required Department of Health and Housing Preservation and Development involvement but could not be properly inspected due to access issues.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including multiple plumbing emergencies (toilet and sink issues) and unsanitary conditions (mold) reported in mid-2025, as well as concerns regarding doors, windows, and various interior surfaces. The property has faced significant structural and safety violations, particularly in 2021, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to masonry step cracks on the right side of the building, resulting in substantial penalties. While the building's bedbug infestation reports for 2023-2024 show generally low activity with most units reporting no issues, there was one confirmed case that was successfully eradicated.

The building has a long history of rodent management challenges, with inspections from 2017-2021 revealing consistent rat activity and multiple failed compliance checks, though more recent rodent reports have been less frequent. Regular inspections by HPD and DOHMH, along with various service requests, indicate ongoing attention to building conditions, though access issues have sometimes hindered proper investigation of reported problems. The most recent bedbug report (May 2025) shows only one unit with past infestation history, suggesting some progress in pest control efforts, though with periodic reoccurrences still evident.
