216 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This two-family house at 216 Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, owned by Michelle Mcgill- Felix, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. The most recent concern involves a rodent-related complaint filed in June 2025, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations, with the property passing inspection. However, the building experienced a notable series of heating system problems in December 2020, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water being filed and some resulting in violations.

While some complaints were resolved quickly, others were complicated by inspectors' inability to access certain apartments for verification. Additional complaints during this period included issues with doors, windows, and the ventilation system, which were also difficult to access for inspection purposes. The building has undergone two rodent inspections, with both passing - the most recent in June 2025 and an earlier one in June 2012.

In response to the heating system issues, emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed between December 2020 and January 2021. A permit for work classified as "EW" was issued in January 2021, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the concentrated period of heating system complaints in late 2020-early 2021 represents the most significant cluster of maintenance issues on record for this property.
