1372 East 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 1372 East 86th Street in Canarsie, owned by Samuel Cheng, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2019, with the most recent concerns centered around water supply problems. In early 2025, an emergency plumbing complaint was filed but could not be inspected due to accessibility issues.

Similar access problems occurred in January 2024, when multiple complaints regarding water supply issues were also filed and closed without inspection. The building has a documented history of mold and painting/maintenance concerns, with inspections in December 2023 revealing unsanitary conditions (mold) and ceiling paint issues, although no violations were issued in that instance.

The property faced significant safety equipment deficiencies in August 2019 when violations were issued for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1, though these were certified as corrected by September 30, 2019. An inspection conducted in 2020 revealed additional paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, along with unsanitary conditions, particularly relating to mold, though these were also closed without violations being issued. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water supply systems and mold-related issues, though the absence of recent violation notices indicates some improvements may have been made over time.
