687 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, three-unit building at 687 Sackett Street in Park Slope, owned by Iris Struller, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024, a rodent sighting was reported, leading to a Health Department inspection that found violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints in April 2023 regarding slow leaks, heavy flow, and damp spots, along with problems related to flooring and walls.

While no violations were found during HPD inspections of these complaints, the building did receive several Housing Maintenance Code violations in June 2023, including a defective self-closing door in Apartment 3, the presence of bicycles in the second-story public hall, and various notification requirement violations related to carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing passed compliance in May 2024, following an initial observation of rat activity in April 2024. Historical data shows a generally successful track record of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2024).

The structure, built in 1910, has maintained its classification as an Old Law Tenement and has had various interior maintenance issues addressed over time, including multiple water leak complaints in 2023 and flooring concerns. Additional complaints from 2022 regarding debris and unauthorized work were also addressed, though no violations were found in these instances. The property has shown compliance with most housing maintenance requirements, though multiple notices were issued in 2023 regarding safety and inspection certificate display requirements.
