80 Schenck Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family, two-story building at 80 Schenck Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Xiuzhen Zhang and constructed in 1901, is currently facing several significant maintenance issues as of 2025. The property has active housing maintenance code violations from April 2024, primarily affecting the second apartment (Apartment 2) on the second floor, including problems with the kitchen ceiling (leaks needing repair), plastered surfaces requiring attention, and defective self-closing doors.

Additional violations from the same inspection period indicate multiple safety and compliance concerns in common areas, including missing signage related to gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, heating system access, and bedbug reporting. A recent 311 service request regarding lighting issues from January 2025 could not be properly investigated due to access issues, though it remains officially listed as a closed complaint. The building's maintenance history shows some positive trends, with the bedbug reporting for the past three years (2021-2025) indicating zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices.

The property appears to have passed a rodent inspection in May 2012. However, the concentration of open violations from April 2024, particularly those related to safety signage and apartment maintenance, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance. The owner has had prior violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in both 2022 and 2023, though this appears to have been rectified with recent filings indicating no infestations.
