614 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

614 Sheffield Avenue is a two-story, two-family residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Charlene Small. The property's documented history reveals some notable events, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance.

Most recently, in January 2019, the building experienced a significant heat and hot water outage affecting all units, which was officially reported to both 311 and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) as an emergency situation. Though HPD responded promptly and received confirmation from a tenant that the heat and hot water had been restored, the agency also noted that new complaints should be filed if the issue persisted.

This incident represents the most substantial resident comfort issue on record in recent years. Prior to these heating system concerns, the building underwent a rodent inspection in August 2012, which resulted in a passing status, indicating no violations or infestation issues at that time. Given the age of the building (115 years old as of 2025) and the limited number of complaints on record, it appears that while there have been some notable service interruptions, particularly regarding heating systems, the property has maintained compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements in recent years.
