576 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit residential building at 576 Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, owned by Joseph Cerone, has experienced recurring issues with heating and sanitation since its construction in 2006. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2022 and 2024, with three recent incidents between December 2023 and April 2024 involving the entire building, though one incident in December 2023 was resolved shortly after inspection.

The building has also faced persistent pest issues, with three separate complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests between 2023 and 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in these cases. Despite these challenges, recent records indicate some positive developments. The building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since 2022, with consistent filings showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods up to March 2025.

The property had three housing maintenance code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though these appear to have been resolved. Additionally, regular rodent inspections conducted between 2011 and 2019 all passed, suggesting effective pest management in this area. While the building continues to experience occasional heat and sanitation issues, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and successful rodent inspections indicate some improvement in basic maintenance standards.
