298 Schenck Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family house at 298 Schenck Avenue in East New York, owned by Freddy Almonte, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2018. The most notable cluster of problems occurred in November 2018, when there were multiple emergency complaints regarding both heat/hot water and plumbing/water supply issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a specific violation in apartment 2 regarding the lack of hot water at all fixtures and another violation concerning carbon monoxide detection equipment.

The building's heating and hot water systems appeared particularly problematic, with ten separate complaints logged between October and December 2018, most of which were marked as emergencies. Two of these complaints in October were notable for not allowing access to inspectors, leading to their closure without resolution verification. Earlier maintenance issues had been identified in 2018, including violations regarding hot water supply and carbon monoxide detection equipment in apartment 2, as well as an illegal lock on the building's entrance storm door.

Despite these numerous violations and complaints, records show that all were ultimately closed, with inspections occurring in some cases. The building's more recent history appears relatively quiet since these 2018 incidents, with no further documented complaints or violations in the available records up to October 2023. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2012 showed compliance with regulations, as it passed.
