692 Schenck Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 692 Schenck Avenue in East New York, owned by Silvio Reyes, has experienced recurring maintenance issues with significant implications for resident comfort and safety. Most notably, there are persistent violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements that remain open as of 2023-2024 inspections.

The building underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations and complaints in early 2022, particularly affecting Apartment 1R, which experienced a range of serious issues including mold (with both emergency and non-emergency designations), pest infestations (roaches and mice - classified as Class C violations), and various maintenance problems such as a slow water leak, plumbing issues, and ceiling paint/plaster defects. Though many of these complaints were closed by February 2022, a new wave of ceiling paint/plaster and mold complaints emerged in January 2022 that resulted in violations. Subsequent inspections in 2022 identified additional problems, including missing smoke detectors in Apartment 1R.

The building's maintenance history shows some progress, with a transition from multiple emergency complaints to more routine non-emergency issues, though several serious violations remain open. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, both passing in these earlier evaluations. While the property has had numerous maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, it's worth noting that many complaints have been addressed and resolved, though some significant violations remain open as of the latest data from 2024.
