695 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, six-unit building at 695 Sackett Street in Park Slope, owned by Henry Donaghy, was completed in 2009 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its history. Most significantly, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with two emergency complaints in 2023 (most recently in November) and one in 2022 - though in each case, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirmed restoration of services. The building has also faced water-related challenges, particularly in September 2021, with multiple reports of leaks resulting in damp spots, and an associated mold issue that led to violations.

More recent concerns include open violations from 2023-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements. The property has been subject to various safety compliance issues, including multiple open violations from 2021 requiring installation of proper smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, and maintenance of building registration signs in common areas. The building's maintenance history shows attention to rodent control, with several inspections between 2017-2019 passing without issues, though there were failures noted in 2010.

Additional violations from 2021 include a defective plaster repair requirement in apartment 3B, and issues with self-closing doors. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and water systems and safety compliance, many historical complaints have been addressed and closed through appropriate agency interventions. The most pressing ongoing concerns as of 2024 relate to the bedbug reporting requirement and various safety signage requirements, while the building has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest control and basic maintenance compliance since 2019.
