545 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 545 Snediker Avenue in East New York, owned by Michael John, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heat and hot water systems. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with particular clusters of issues in December 2020, December 2021, and January 2022.

Notably, during these incidents, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was frequently unable to gain access to apartments for inspection. There was also a power outage incident in August 2022 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building has an active bedbug reporting violation as of April 2024, though bedbug inspections for the period between November 2021 and October 2022 reported no infested units, and prior reports from 2020-2022 were addressed.

In December 2020, significant safety concerns were identified in apartment 2F regarding inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations aren't marked as resolved in current records. The building's environmental compliance history includes a 2019 violation for illegal use in a residential district involving unregistered vehicles, which remains active with a $625 penalty, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2019. While multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2023, these were subsequently resolved through certification, though the current open violation from 2024 suggests ongoing compliance issues with filing requirements.
