766 Howard Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The three-story, three-unit building at 766 Howard Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Sidney Camille, has experienced persistent maintenance issues from late 2024 through 2025, with particular concerns about heating and hot water systems. Between October 2024 and May 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water, with HPD often unable to gain access to apartments for inspection. The building's third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) has documented violations from December 2024, including issues with excessively hot water, radiator problems, a rotted kitchen sink cabinet, and bathroom ceiling mold.
Additional problems were reported earlier in 2024, including a water leak affecting the public hall ceiling on the 2nd and 3rd floors, electrical issues, and plumbing concerns. The property has a history of maintenance violations dating back to 2018, when multiple issues were documented regarding building walls, with specific concerns about missing and broken vinyl sheets and masonry joints. The building experienced structural concerns in July 2018, with a partial vacate order issued regarding building vibration. While there have been several ECB violations related to building maintenance between 2018-2019, most have been resolved.
Recent inspections for bedbugs and rodent control have shown no infestations since 2020. The building's service request history shows a pattern of heat and hot water problems recurring at least 10 times from August 2024 through May 2025, suggesting ongoing HVAC system challenges. While some violations have been addressed and closed, including various plumbing and maintenance issues in Apartment 3, there are still open violations from 2024 regarding public area water leaks. The property's age (built in 1930) and classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it may have been previously converted to accommodate multiple units, which is now a common configuration for this type of building in NYC.
