686 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 686 Shepherd Avenue in East New York, owned by Jeanine David, has a documented history dating back to its 1930 construction. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, most recently in July 2024 regarding garbage and recycling storage, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in this instance.

Notably, there has been consistent monitoring of bedbug reporting compliance, with Open violations as recent as April 2024, despite the building's official bedbug report for the 2021-2022 period showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections (2011, 2012, 2018, and 2020), all of which passed, with only one mouse sighting complaint recorded in November 2020 that also resulted in no violations.

The property's 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints reveal a pattern of sanitation-related issues requiring attention, though most have been resolved without official violations. The most pressing current concern appears to be the open bedbug reporting violation from April 2024, which requires the filing of annual reports in accordance with HPD rules. The building's older maintenance record shows no major violations or safety concerns beyond the recurring bedbug reporting compliance requirement, and the consistent passing of rodent inspections suggests effective pest management in that regard.
