65 Scholes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, two-family house at 65 Scholes Street in Williamsburg, currently owned by James Fong, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most pressing problems occurring between November 2023 and June 2025. The property had multiple emergency-level complaints in November 2023, including water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leak), ceiling paint/plaster issues, mold/unwanted sanitary conditions, flooring problems, and an electric power outage.

During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued several violations related to water leaks, mold, and ceiling issues, though some inspections resulted in no violations being found. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a complaint regarding a rat sighting at the property, though Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspectors were unable to access the site for verification.

The building's history also shows a permit-related complaint in March 2022, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While the property has had multiple maintenance issues requiring government intervention, it's worth noting that all the complaints from November 2023 were ultimately closed, though the resolution details regarding specific violations may require further investigation through official HPD channels.
