288 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 288 Ashford Street in East New York, owned by Wen Qing Chen, is a two-story building constructed in 1910. The property has experienced several concerning incidents, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in January 2019 when multiple heating and hot water problems were reported, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations related to heat and hot water deficiencies, though some inspections were hampered by a lack of access to the premises. Additional complaints were filed during this time regarding cooking gas, with violations being issued in one instance.

More recently, in January 2020, there was a rodent-related complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), which resulted in violations being found on the property, necessitating follow-up inspections. It's worth noting that all of these service requests have been officially closed, though the specific resolutions and any subsequent compliance actions were not detailed in the available records. The building's documented history reveals two distinct periods of service-related issues: a concentrated series of heating and hot water problems in early 2019, and a rodent issue in early 2020, with the latter requiring additional oversight from health authorities.
