174 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

174 Schenectady Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ruvane Vilinsky. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most notably in October 2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems.

During that period, several HPD inspections were unable to gain access to units for verification. More recently, in July 2022, there was a water supply issue that also restricted access for inspection, though this was successfully addressed by August 2022. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements as per Housing Maintenance Code, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports.

However, the bedbug reports themselves have shown no infested units across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management despite the reporting compliance issues. The most recent violation for bedbug reporting was documented during an April 2024 inspection, though previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were also noted. The building class is listed as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," suggesting it may have undergone a prior conversion to multiple dwellings status, which is typical for many early 20th-century Brooklyn buildings.
