798 Snediker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 798 Snediker Avenue in East New York, owned by Racliff Williams, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues since at least 2021. Most notably, in November 2021, there was an emergency situation involving no heat or hot water that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has also faced persistent challenges with compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements, receiving multiple Class A violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the necessary annual reports as mandated by HPD. The building's safety and maintenance record reveals several concerning issues that emerged in late 2021, including multiple open violations as of November 2021 related to building safety and maintenance: defective fire egress caused by a locked gate, encumbrances in the second-story public hall, missing or defective self-closing vestibule doors, and inadequate posting of safety information regarding gas leaks and housing guides.

While some violations from this period were eventually closed, there remains an active Environmental Control Board violation from June 2023 regarding structural issues, specifically concerning cracks and missing stucco on the building's exterior, with a penalty imposed of $2,530. The most recent bedbug reporting filing from April 2024 indicates no current infestations or re-infestations, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, and a 2012 rodent inspection showed compliance, though this is quite dated relative to the current date of 2025.
