43 Maspeth Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-unit residential building at 43 Maspeth Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Dana Schneider, was constructed in 2001 and stands three stories tall. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in April 2025, for which HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the apartments.

This followed a series of four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. However, these violations appear to have been addressed, as the most recent bedbug reporting filings from 2022-2025 show zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, and zero units requiring eradication. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with five rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2019, all passing the inspection.

The property's bedbug monitoring program has been diligently maintained over the years, with no reported incidents of infestation since at least 2019. While the heat and hot water issue in 2025 is concerning, it's important to note that this is an ongoing complaint as of the current date, and there have been no further complaints or violations regarding bedbug reporting in the past year. The building's relatively recent age (2001) and current lack of documented infestations or other pest-related issues suggest that most previous maintenance concerns have been resolved, though the recent heating system complaint warrants attention.
