64 Doscher Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 64 Doscher Street in East New York, a 2-story building constructed in 1899, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems in recent years, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. In 2024 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water problems in September, January, and December, with a September 2024 violation specifically citing inadequate hot water at all fixtures in the second-floor apartment.

Other significant concerns include a pest infestation (August 2024), water leaks, and ceiling damage (October 2023), with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remaining open as of October 2023 pertaining to heat, hot water, pest control, and various repairs needed for the ceiling and roof. The property's history shows several concerning incidents between 2019-2021, including multiple complaints about the building being vacant/open/unguarded, suspected illegal conversions, and electrical issues.

There was also a period of unauthorized renovation work involving the facade and front porch in late 2020, which resulted in multiple citations to a contractor (Linden Cleaning LLC) for work done without a permit. While a rodent inspection in late 2023 passed, an earlier complaint in October 2023 regarding mouse sightings was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found at that time. The building's current owner, Johora Hena, has maintained the property through various challenges, but persistent issues with basic services like heat and hot water continue to affect the building's habitability standards as of the latest available data in October 2023.
