The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 643 Sheffield Avenue in East New York, owned by Gurwinder Singh, was constructed in 2018 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since opening. Most recently, there have been two plumbing-related complaints in 2025 and 2024, including an unresolved sink issue in early 2025 (HPD Inspector unable to gain access) and a toilet problem in October 2024 that resulted in violations, with additional plumbing issues in Apartment 2A noted in November 2024 violations. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple violations documented in 2023-2024 related to roach and mouse infestations in Apartment 2A, along with unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage. Infrastructure issues have included multiple complaints about the building's security systems (buzzer/intercom) and doors, with some violations remaining open as of late 2024.
During the building's construction phase in late 2018, there were several construction-related violations and stop-work orders issued, though these were subsequently rescinded. The construction period saw multiple citations for failures to comply with safety and documentation requirements, including inadequate site fencing and improper housekeeping practices. The building's life safety systems are currently under scrutiny, with open violations as of late 2024 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2A, along with a defective entrance door latch violation. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2023.
