677 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 2-story, 6-unit tenement building at 677 Sheffield Avenue in East New York, owned by Angela Hall, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since at least 2022. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water, with three emergency complaints in late 2024 alone, and multiple similar issues documented between 2022 and 2024. Between January and April 2024, the building faced significant water-related challenges, including multiple leak complaints (both heavy and slow) and mold issues, leading to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These violations are particularly concentrated in apartments 1F and 2R, with 2R showing multiple problems including window leaks, water penetration, mold, and ceiling issues, most of which remain open as of late 2024. The building's maintenance history also includes a safety-related fire escape inspection in April 2022, though the specific findings are not detailed in the records. On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports for the building (through 2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012 both passed, suggesting no significant pest control issues in those years. The building's history clearly indicates ongoing challenges with water-related issues, heating systems, and moisture-related problems, particularly mold, which appear to be systematic rather than isolated incidents. The most recent inspections and violations suggest that these problems remain a concern for residents as of late 2024.
