1321 East 85th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

1321 East 85th Street is a 2-family house built in 1955, currently owned by Alan Sasson, located in Canarsie. The two-story building has experienced significant maintenance and pest control issues, particularly during the 2019-2021 period.

In March 2019, an inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) revealed multiple violations in the 2nd-floor apartment (Apt 2FL), including issues with plastered surfaces, ceiling problems, plumbing fixtures, electrical lighting, door conditions, water leaks, and pest infestations. These violations were categorized as emergency or non-emergency issues, with specific problems documented in various rooms including ceiling repair needs, door malfunctions, sink plumbing issues, and lighting failures. The building has a concerning history of pest control problems, with inspections showing consistent rodent issues between 2011 and 2018, including multiple failures for "Other Reasons" during 2015, 2017, and 2018, and two pest-related complaints in July 2021.

While there was one subsequent pest complaint in July 2021 that was closed with no violations found, this followed a pattern of infestations, as evidenced by multiple 2019 violations for pest issues in Apt 2FL. The property has also experienced various infrastructure challenges, including water leaks affecting ceilings in multiple rooms, problems with electrical systems, and issues with paint and plaster surfaces throughout the apartment. As of now, there are open violations from the 2019 inspection related to rodent infestation, roof leaks, bathroom fixtures, and various surface repair requirements in Apt 2FL, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges despite some complaints being resolved.
