395 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

395 Schenectady Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building in Crown Heights, built in 1923 and currently owned by Itche Skoblo. The building has experienced consistent maintenance challenges in 2025, particularly concerning heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints about both entire-building and apartment-specific issues between January and April 2025. Notable violations from late 2024 included inadequate heat supply and broken radiator issues in Apartment 3A, as well as a mouse infestation in Apartment 3D.

The building faced several water-related issues in 2025, with both heavy flow and slow leak problems reported in May and June, along with appliance-related complaints. Safety concerns were documented in April 2025 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's heating system has been a recurring problem, with multiple service requests and violations indicating inadequate heat supply. Additional historical context shows persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity between 2022-2025, though the most recent inspections in 2025 showed no violations.

The property has passed several rodent inspections since early 2025, including a March 2025 initial inspection that passed. The building had boiler-related issues in early 2025, with a defective/inoperative complaint leading to a violation. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years, with zero reported cases between 2019-2025 according to the official reporting system. While some violations have been promptly addressed, including heating and water issues that were apparently corrected in 2025, several violations from late 2024 regarding window caulking, high water temperature, and electrical issues appear to remain unresolved as of the latest data.
