265 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The two-family house at 265 Skillman Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Elisha Binet, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most critical being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2022. Although this emergency was reportedly resolved within a week, it represents the most serious maintenance concern on record.

The building has also been dealing with water leak issues since December 2022, with two separate complaints filed, one of which resulted in violations being issued. The property has faced multiple unsanitary conditions throughout 2022, including two separate incidents of mold and pest infestations in March 2022 alone, one of which was designated as emergency-level.

While no violations were issued for these unsanitary conditions, two of the complaints in March were marked as "unable to inspect," suggesting potential access issues for inspectors. The building dates back to 1901 and is two stories tall, with the recent historical record showing persistent maintenance challenges that required multiple follow-ups by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to address water-related issues and general building upkeep. All documented complaints have been closed, but the frequency and nature of these issues indicate a building that has required regular oversight to maintain basic systems and living conditions.
