36 Hendrix Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 36 Hendrix Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Brenda Jennings, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning over a decade, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2023. In September 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations related to flooring issues and unsanitary conditions, including reports of mold and pests.

Specifically, on October 5, 2023, the property received violations for several maintenance issues in the basement apartment, including defective mechanical ventilation in the bathroom, damaged wood flooring in one room, and water leak problems in the private hallway. The building's historical record shows recurring maintenance challenges, including a significant pest infestation in the first-floor apartment in 2022, and multiple violations in 2011 related to safety equipment and plumbing issues in the penthouse (PH) apartment, such as the need for proper carbon monoxide detectors and repairs to bathroom fixtures.

While rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013 passed without issues, the overall pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. Notably, the most recent violations from October 2023 have been certified as corrected as of November 2023, indicating some responsiveness to recent maintenance issues. However, it's worth noting that some previous violations from 2011-2014, primarily related to safety equipment and bathroom fixtures in the PH apartment, were only certified as corrected in 2024, suggesting historical delays in addressing certain maintenance issues.
