593 Barbey Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 593 Barbey Street in East New York, owned by Jeanette Hendrix, is a two-story structure built in 1910. The property has experienced recurring issues with essential services, particularly heating and electrical systems. Most recently, in January 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding both heating/hot water and electrical lighting problems, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These followed a similar heating/hot water complaint in November 2023, indicating an ongoing pattern of service disruptions. The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including a slow water leak complaint in November 2022 that resulted in violations, and several door/window-related issues between 2022 and 2023, most of which were resolved without violations. Two structure-related complaints concerning building shaking or vibration were reported in August 2022, though inspectors either found no violations or were unable to gain access during their inspection attempts.

The building's maintenance history reveals a concentrated period of issues in 2022-2023, including multiple complaints about doors, windows, and plumbing systems. In March 2023, there were several non-emergency complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and an appliance problem, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has had a consistent pattern of requiring multiple inspections and follow-ups to address various maintenance concerns, though many issues have been resolved through proper inspections and appropriate responses by HPD. The concentration of heating, cooling, and water-related complaints, particularly in the winter months, suggests these systems may require closer monitoring.
