118 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 118 Shepherd Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Tomas Sanchezramirez, is a 2-story, 1910 building that has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in late 2023 and into 2024, the property faced multiple complaints filed on November 3, 2023, including issues with pests (classified as unsanitary conditions), lack of heat and hot water, and a water leak resulting in damp spots.

While the heat and hot water problem was reported as resolved within days of the complaint, the other two issues were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) without any violations being issued, though they remained open for several months before final closure in April 2024. Looking back to 2019, similar heating issues were documented, with a complaint about no heat or hot water filed on March 7 and resolved by March 9, along with a window frame concern that resulted in issued violations.

The building's maintenance history suggests recurring problems with heating systems, particularly during transitional seasons, as evidenced by both the 2019 and 2023 complaints. The 2023 issues, particularly the unsanitary condition related to pests, represent the most recent and potentially concerning maintenance challenge, though no violations were ultimately recorded following HPD's inspection. The property has maintained a basic compliance record overall, with no substantial violations noted in the most recent inspections.
