455 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 108-unit, 6-story building at 455 Schenectady Avenue in East Flatbush, constructed in 1939 and currently owned by Larry Malitzky, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water crises in April 2025, with multiple tenant complaints about system failures. In addition, there were indoor air quality concerns related to chemical vapors in June 2025, and mold issues were reported in April 2025, though no violations were issued for these conditions. The building has faced ongoing elevator service challenges, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service filed throughout 2024-2025, the most recent being an active complaint from May 2025.
The Department of Buildings issued several violations in late 2024 regarding apartment 6P, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, an infestation of roaches and mice, and water heater problems, though these have since been marked as resolved. Additional maintenance issues documented in 2025 included ceiling damage that received violation citations, and earlier concerns from 2023-2024 showed problems with window repairs and electrical issues. The building's recent history shows a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat, hot water, and elevator operation. Environmental controls were a concern in 2024-2025, with documented violations related to inadequate safety equipment maintenance.
The property has passed recent rodent inspections (December 2023, 2022) though earlier inspections in 2011-2012 noted rat activity. Importantly, bedbug infestations have been minimal in recent years, with no reported cases from 2022-2024, though there was one unit affected in 2021. The building's history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges requiring regular intervention by housing agencies, though many recent inspections and complaint investigations have resolved these issues, at least temporarily. The elevator systems have been particularly problematic, with multiple violation cases and system-related complaints continuing into 2025.
