28 Scholes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 28 Scholes Street in Williamsburg, owned by Miriam Yavo and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting an apartment, which followed a pattern of heating system concerns including a December 2023 violation for inadequate heat supply in apartment 1R, along with issues related to the heating system's accessibility.

The building has also faced multiple habitability challenges, with significant clusters of violations and complaints in late 2022 including issues with mold, pests, water leaks, stairs, electrical systems, and general maintenance needs in various apartments. Recent records indicate some compliance efforts, with multiple bedbug reports filed showing zero infested units from 2021-2024, suggesting successful pest management. However, there are active violations related to boiler inspections, with multiple citations from 2018-2024 for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports.

The building has a history of rodent management interventions, particularly in 2012-2013, though recent rodent inspections have shown passing results. While many violations from 2022-2023 have been marked as closed, there are still some open violations requiring attention, including issues with a cabinet in apartment 1R and various building safety notifications that need to be properly posted. The property has undergone several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with most recent violations from late 2023 focusing on heating system access and door functionality.
