327 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

327 Shepherd Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899 in East New York, currently owned by Yair Yaish. The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning conditions, particularly a persistent rodent problem, with the most recent inspections in July and October 2023 confirming rat activity. The property has also experienced significant heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in December 2022, though these were reportedly resolved.

There are double-confirmed violations regarding garbage/recycling storage from June 2023, though no violations were issued upon inspection. A notable pattern of bedbug reporting compliance issues is evident, with the most recent report in July 2025 showing all three units currently infested and none having been successfully eradicated, marking a significant deterioration in pest management. Prior to these recent issues, the building faced serious concerns during 2019-2020, including multiple violations related to construction work being conducted contrary to a Stop Work Order.

This situation resulted in significant penalties, including an active $2,500 violation for violating COVID-19 Executive Orders related to construction activities. The building has consistently failed to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, resulting in multiple violations. While some complaints and violations have been resolved, such as those related to improperly removed stop work orders in 2019 and 2020, the current state of the building suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and sanitation standards. The most recent permits issued in early 2020 and late 2020 suggest some level of construction activity occurred during this period, though the nature of these activities is not specified in the provided data.
