47 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
47 Sheffield Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, owned by Abraham Klein and constructed in 1905 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with the most significant recent problems occurring in 2024.
Currently, there are multiple open violations in Apartment 1R from an August 2024 inspection, including issues with mold (both visible and affecting carbon monoxide detectors), water leaks, pest infestations (specifically roaches), and problems with self-closing doors. The building has a documented history of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, mold, and water leaks, with HPD receiving multiple complaints between 2020 and 2024. Notably, the property experienced a heat and hot water system failure affecting the entire building in May 2020, and there were multiple violations related to sanitation and maintenance in December 2023, including broken window guards.
The building's maintenance history shows some improvements over time, with rodent inspections between 2011 and 2017 showing mixed results, though more recent rodent issues have not been documented. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 to 2021, showing no reported infestations during those periods. However, recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 1R, which has been the focus of multiple open violations related to safety, sanitation, and maintenance.
