855 Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 5-story, 20-unit residential building at 855 Dekalb Avenue, owned by Sam Wieder and constructed in 2016, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are ongoing violations related to self-closing doors in public areas, including problems identified in November 2024 with doors in the bathroom at the west wall hinge on the first story and in the laundry room in the basement. The building has faced multiple appliance-related issues in 2024, with violations documented for inoperable refrigerators and range issues, particularly impacting apartment 4B on the 4th floor.

This unit has also experienced significant maintenance problems, including plumbing issues with leaky faucets, a defective wash basin, and various problems with doors and cabinetry documented between September and November 2024. The building underwent HPD inspections in 2024 that resulted in multiple violations for various issues including plumbing (toilets and sinks), doors, and ventilation systems. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained passing rodent inspection results consistently since 2019.

Recent 311 complaints in July 2024 about appliances (both refrigerator and electric range) were investigated, with only the refrigerator complaint resulting in violations. The property has a documented history of inspections dating back to 2019, and while there have been various maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment 4B, many complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections. The building, classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," presents a mix of maintenance challenges and compliance with basic health and safety inspections, with most recent complaints focusing on appliance functionality and door-related issues.
