1112 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 1112 East 85th Street in Canarsie, owned by Sandra Thornhill, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly during 2018 and early 2019. The most significant and persistent problems were related to heat and hot water, with multiple complaints from January and October 2018, including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues.

In July-August 2018, the building faced multiple violations related to paint and plaster conditions, particularly in the second-floor apartment, where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found problems with walls and ceilings requiring repair and repainting. These violations included issues with the carbon monoxide detectors in both apartments, which were subsequently certified as corrected in September 2018. The property experienced water-related concerns in September 2018, with two complaints about slow leaks, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

Additional maintenance issues were reported in August 2018, including problems with windows/doors and the ventilation system. Notably, the building's heat and hot water system appears to have been particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints filed in late 2018 and early 2019, though many of these complaints were ultimately closed due to inability to gain access for inspection or reports of restoration. The most recent building records available show that while many violations were addressed and closed, several complaints were left unresolved as of their closure dates, with HPD advising residents to re-file complaints if issues persisted.
