533 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 533 Snediker Avenue in East New York, owned by Patricia Estrella, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heating system problems, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 regarding lack of heat or hot water in the entire building, which HPD was unable to inspect.

Between late 2019 and early 2020, multiple heat-related complaints were filed, some resulting in violations, while others were resolved through tenant reports of restoration. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 2, where violations were documented in 2020 for mold conditions in the bathroom and kitchen, electrical issues, pest infestations, and various appliance problems. Emergency repairs were required for multiple issues including unsanitary conditions and plumbing problems in December 2019.

A carbon monoxide detector violation was noted in Apartment 3 during a June 2023 inspection, though the building has maintained passing results in rodent inspections as recently as 2019. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with only one infestation noted in 2020 that was reportedly eradicated. The pattern of heating system complaints and various maintenance violations, particularly during 2019-2020, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response, though many issues appear to have been addressed through violations and inspection requirements.
