149 Doscher Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, three-unit building at 149 Doscher Street in East New York, owned by Sherry Heckstall, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are three separate emergency complaints filed in December 2023 regarding heat and hot water issues, unsanitary conditions related to pests, and problems with a window frame in apartment 3, with all three complaints ultimately being closed without violations, except for the window frame issue which did receive violations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2020, with all annual reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units up through the most recent filing in December 2024. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received several violations between 2021 and 2023, primarily related to building safety and maintenance requirements. In 2021, the building was cited for multiple administrative code violations regarding required postings in the public hall, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, emergency contact information, and building registration details.

These violations, along with a plaster repair issue in apartment 3, were certified as corrected by July 2021. Prior to the recent window frame violation, the most significant maintenance issues appeared to be primarily administrative in nature rather than directly affecting resident comfort or safety. The building's rodent inspection conducted in April 2012 showed no violations, and a 2019 complaint about an inadequate fence was also resolved without warranted violations.
