738 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 5-unit, 2-story building at 738 Snediker Avenue in East New York, owned by Monte Simon, has been in operation since 1930 under the New Law Tenement classification. The property has experienced several notable incidents over recent years, including multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with no records of certification for compliance.

In March 2021, the building faced multiple violations including a Class C violation for an illegally installed hasp and eye lock on the front yard gate, and Class B violations for various maintenance issues such as broken paving in the front yard and unauthorized storage of construction materials and household items in public hall areas on both the 1st and 2nd stories. The building's maintenance history includes a heating/hot water emergency complaint in March 2021 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found. A sewage leak incident was reported in July 2019 and closed in September 2019 without documented resolution.

More recently, a complaint regarding excessive debris was filed in March 2024, which was inspected in May 2024 and found to have no violations warranting action. The most recent rodent inspection conducted in September 2012 resulted in a passing grade, and an annual bedbug report was filed in May 2021 covering the 2019-2020 period, indicating no infestation during that timeframe. The building's pattern of open violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues, while the various maintenance violations from 2021 indicate historical challenges with common area upkeep and security features.
