669 Schenck Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family residence at 669 Schenck Avenue in East New York, owned by Mohammed Hakim, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of water-related problems, including two separate reports of heavy water leaks in April 2025 and April 2024, with associated violations issued by HPD. The building has also faced challenges with interior maintenance, as evidenced by several complaints regarding paint and plaster conditions on both walls and ceilings, with violations issued in 2025 and 2024.

The presence of mold has been documented as an unsanitary condition in both years, with HPD inspections resulting in violations. In addition to these recurring issues, a plumbing problem involving a basin or sink was reported and inspected in April 2024, resulting in violations. The property has seen some variations in HPD's ability to access reporting areas, with certain complaints in 2024 being closed without violations due to access issues.

While all reported complaints have been officially closed, many resulted in violations that required owner remediation. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with water management and interior upkeep, with the most recent complaints from April 2025 being addressed as emergency situations by HPD. The property's age (built in 1920) and classification as a two-family house have remained consistent throughout its documented history.
