225 Nichols Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 225 Nichols Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Giuseppe Schimmenti, is a two-story building constructed in 1899 that contains three residential units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heat and hot water, particularly notable in March 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed.

These heating system issues appear to be a recurring problem, as evidenced by two overlapping complaints in March 2024, one of which was ultimately closed due to lack of access for inspection. In addition to the heating problems, the building has faced various maintenance challenges and inspection attempts in 2023.

September 2023 saw multiple complaints including window frame issues and pest infestations, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions in some instances. More recently, in May 2024, a complaint regarding debris with potential safety implications was filed with the Department of Buildings, though this was resolved by December 2024 with a fully rescinded stop work order. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly concerning basic services like heating and pest control, though some issues have been resolved through inspections and subsequent actions.
