1431 East 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, two-family house at 1431 East 86th Street in Canarsie, owned by Jerry Uduevbo, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an active open violation as of November 2023 regarding a broken or defective handrail at the stairs from the 2nd to 3rd story in the private hallway of Apartment 2.

The building has faced persistent pest problems, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2022, including three unsanitary condition complaints specifically about pests in September 2022, and recurring rodent activity documented in 2019-2022 inspections. Water-related issues have been a significant concern, with multiple reports of leaks and damp spots in July 2022, and various maintenance violations in June 2022 related to water damage, including problems with a sink wasteline connection, ceiling leak, and bathroom faucets. The property has a documented history of illegal conversion complaints dating back to 2018, with multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during their inspections, though one complaint from 2020 resulted in no violations being found.

Between 2022 and 2023, there have been several environmental inspections showing rat activity, and a 2019 ECB violation for work without a permit related to a garage modification. The building has undergone multiple HPD inspections throughout 2022, addressing various issues including mold, cabinet problems, and paint/plaster concerns, though many inspections resulted in no violations being issued. While some issues have been resolved, as indicated by closed violations, the recurring nature of certain problems—particularly pest and water-related complaints—suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
