96 Sackman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 96 Sackman Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Tresia McDermott, is a 2-story brick building constructed in 1899. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with nine complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, including two recent emergency complaints in October 2024.

Of particular concern, three of these complaints (October 2024 and two in November 2022) involved inspectors being unable to gain access to verify the reported problems. The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2022 in Apartment 1, concerning a defective electrical outlet and damaged plastered surfaces in the kitchen. Additional maintenance issues were recorded in October 2022, including complaints about a radiator problem, water leak, and another electrical outlet issue, though inspections did not result in violations.

The building's maintenance history also shows a gas piping complaint in January 2021 where inspectors could not gain access, and a series of plumbing and electrical issues in early 2021. Periodic rodent inspections from 2013 (initial failed inspection), 2018 (passed), and 2020 (compliance, passed) suggest varying conditions of pest management. While some heat and maintenance issues have been resolved, the pattern of access issues during inspections and recurring heat system complaints, particularly the most recent incidents, indicates ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance and accessibility for inspections.
