668 Ashford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

668 Ashford Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Ancel & Barbara Evans. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in May 2022 when multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in documented violations.

Although heat and hot water were reportedly restored following these incidents, the building has ongoing maintenance concerns from recent violations, including two open violations from March and April 2024 relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. A significant C-class violation regarding hot water provision and another concerning access to the heating system in the basement remain open from May 2022, indicating they have not been resolved. The building's maintenance history also includes a series of rodent inspections between 2010-2012, with initial inspections showing passed results but some bait applications and one instance of rat activity in late 2010.

While there have been no recent rodent-related complaints on record, the 2022 heating issues and the unaddressed bedbug report violations are of particular note. The building's permitted class is designated as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," suggesting it was previously converted from another status before being classified as a Class A multiple dwelling. The property's age (126 years old as of 2025) and history of maintenance issues warrant attention to the ongoing compliance with housing regulations.
