AI summary · updated June 2026

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 718 Schenck Avenue in East New York, owned by Dyra Arnold and constructed in 1930, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a recent emergency report in November 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected apartments. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with a non-emergency unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests filed in June 2023. Of particular concern is an open housing maintenance code violation from March 2023 (and similar from 2022 and 2021) regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which remains unresolved as of April 2024.

The building's history includes recorded rodent sightings, with a significant complaint from July 2019 about rat sightings, though an initial rodent inspection from August 2019 passed. The property has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with the most recent related to the bedbug reporting requirement in April 2024. While there have been some successful resolutions to past complaints, including a March 2024 closure of a pest-related complaint and an August 2019 closure of a heat-related complaint, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations and the recent heat/hot water access issue suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's documented history includes routine rodent inspections from 2011, 2012, and 2019, all of which passed, indicating some level of oversight in this particular area despite the more recent pest concerns.
