294 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 294 Snediker Avenue, owned by Shameem Chowdhury, has experienced significant maintenance challenges since 2023, with the most pressing issues being persistent rodent infestations. Between March 2023 and July 2025, there have been multiple 311 complaints regarding rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with inspection records consistently showing rat activity despite repeated bait applications.

The property has also faced several serious maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations indicating problems with plumbing, heating, and various apartment conditions. Specifically, Apartment 1 has documented issues with plumbing fixtures (including toilets, sinks, and bathtubs), heat and hot water systems, appliances, doors, and alleged unsanitary conditions including mold and sewage problems. More recently, in 2024, the building has been subject to multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and hotel rooms in residential buildings, suggesting potential unauthorized use of the property.

Structural concerns emerged in early 2024, with violations documented through the Department of Buildings regarding the exterior masonry wall showing vertical and diagonal cracks, bulging, spalling, and flaking, with some structural monitoring implications. An active Environmental Control Board violation from November 2024 pertains to improper support for window A/C units and observes building cracks. Despite numerous inspection attempts, access issues have frequently hindered thorough investigations of reported problems, with several complaints being marked as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" in 2024.
