715 Howard Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family residential building at 715 Howard Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Eli Fisher, has experienced a series of concerning issues throughout 2025, particularly in May and June. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding the property's condition, including problems with flooring/stairs, window frames, and unsanitary pest conditions.

Several of these complaints required HPD inspections, which could not be completed, prompting the agency to advise filing new service requests if the issues persisted. The building also faced safety concerns in May 2025, particularly regarding broken or missing window guards, which were classified as emergencies. Further compounding these issues, the building experienced heating and hot water problems in June 2025, which were deemed an emergency situation.

The combination of unresolved pest issues, safety concerns regarding window guards, and heating problems suggests significant maintenance challenges within the property. While some of these complaints have been formally closed in the HPD system, the nature of the inspections that couldn't be completed, combined with the emergency status of certain complaints, indicates ongoing concerns about the building's habitability conditions. The property, built in 1930, has now entered what could be considered a concerning pattern of maintenance issues that merit attention, though the exact resolution status of many of these complaints remains somewhat unclear due to the nature of the inspections performed.
