669 Hinsdale Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 669 Hinsdale Street in East New York, owned by Dianne Murray and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's current status as of April 2025, with an open violation regarding the failure to submit the required annual bedbug report.

Recent problems include a lighting outage in April 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues, and a March 2023 incident of lost heat and hot water affecting the entire building. Multiple non-emergency issues were documented in late 2021, including problems with electrical lighting, wall conditions requiring paint/plaster work, pest-related unsanitary conditions, and refrigerator appliance issues - though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building has several open violations from 2021 and 2023 requiring attention, including a 2023 violation concerning a defective self-closing door in Apartment 2R, and building code violations related to fire egress and brick wall condition from December 2021.

The property has been required to file annual bedbug reports since at least April 2021, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024 for failure to comply. The building's maintenance history includes two rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, both of which passed, suggesting this has not been a persistent issue. While many past complaints have been closed without violations, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and current violations, indicates ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
