704 Sackett Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 8-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 704 Sackett Street in Park Slope, owned by Adda Realty LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2024. Between October and December 2024, multiple violations and service requests were documented, including unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), plumbing issues (radiators and water supply), door problems (including frames and self-closing mechanisms), and electrical concerns (lighting). Notably, there are open violations related to water leaks, hot water temperature regulation, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 1L, including problems with the carbon monoxide detector, mailbox door, and bathroom ceiling.

The building's recent history shows recurring pest issues, with bedbug infestations reported in 2019, 2021, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024. Water-related problems appear to be a persistent concern, as evidenced by multiple complaints about water supply issues and dampness. In terms of safety compliance, there was a significant emergency violation in October 2024 regarding the carbon monoxide detector that required immediate attention. While some complaints were resolved through HPD inspections, many resulted in violations requiring the owner to make corrections, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building has had some temporary rodent-related issues in 2018, though passed subsequent inspections. There was also a complaint about unauthorized work in 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the situation. The property has had various permits issued, primarily for exterior work, between 2018 and 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance and improvements. While not all issues appear to be consistently addressed promptly according to housing codes, the documented violations show that the building has undergone regular inspections and reporting requirements, though some problems have persisted or recurred over time.
