120 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 120 Van Siclen Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Shloimy Hers, has experienced several maintenance and compliance events since 2019. Most notably, the building faced multiple violations in 2023, including issues with paint and plaster in apartment 1R, window damage, and defects in plastered surfaces in the kitchen, though these violations were subsequently certified as closed. Between 2021 and 2023, the building had numerous maintenance complaints related to doors, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems, all of which were investigated but no violations were ultimately issued.

The property underwent some construction activity in 2019 that generated two Environmental Control Board violations regarding permit posting and inspection access, though these were resolved. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, showing zero affected units in all five annual reports from 2019 through 2024. Similarly, rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2018 all passed successfully.

While there have been various maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with kitchen appliances, bathtubs/showers, and electrical outlets, the majority of complaints were addressed without resulting in sustained violations. The building's documented history shows regular oversight from housing authorities, with most recent issues being relatively minor and contained primarily to apartment 1R. The most significant historical issues involved air conditioner installation concerns in 2021 and security-related violations in 2019 regarding building entrance doors.
