1125 East 83rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The property at 1125 East 83rd Street in Canarsie is a two-family house built in 1955, currently owned by Nigel Escalona. The building has experienced significant issues with maintenance and compliance in recent years, particularly during 2021-2022.

Most notably, there were multiple heating and hot water system problems documented through HPD complaints and violations between January and March 2022, along with recurring issues related to appliances, particularly the gas range. During an inspection on March 10, 2022, violations were issued for inadequate hot water supply, defective faucets in the 2nd-floor bathroom, and a broken lock on the 2nd-floor entrance door, though some related complaints had to be closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's most serious concerns emerged in late 2021, when multiple complaints regarding illegal conversion were filed, leading to a vacate order for the cellar area which was later rescinded in July 2023.

Violations were documented for unauthorized occupancy beyond the legally approved two-family status, and there were also issues with emergency egress concerns, though inspections found no violations at that time. The property has a history of multiple HPD complaints that resulted in violations for various issues including plumbing, door problems, and gas supply concerns. While some violations have been resolved, most inspection-related issues from 2022 were closed without confirming resolution, leaving several open violations as of the last available data in October 2023, including concerns about water supply and door security hardware.
