557 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

557 Snediker Avenue is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Waichow Lau and located in East New York. The property experienced significant heating system issues during March-April 2019, with multiple 311 complaints (totaling at least 10) and emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints related to heat and hot water problems, culminating in a violation on March 16, 2019, requiring the provision of adequate heat to Apartment 2.

While these issues were addressed, with some complaints indicating restoration of services, they represent the most substantial tenant comfort concerns on record. The building also underwent scrutiny from the Department of Buildings in April 2020, receiving two stop-work order violations related to construction safety, though these were subsequently dismissed and fully rescinded by May 26, 2020.

Rodent inspections show a mixed history, with the most recent inspection on October 3, 2019, passing, along with previous inspections in 2016 and 2012, though there were failures noted in 2011 and December 2015 for unspecified reasons. The building's age and history suggest regular maintenance is crucial; however, apart from the 2019 heating issues and 2020 construction concerns, there have been no recent complaints or violations of significant note. The property appears to have stabilized since 2019, with the most recent documented interactions with city agencies focusing on routine inspections rather than urgent complaints.
