710 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 710 Shepherd Avenue, owned by Kwan Yuen, is a two-story residence built in 1930, located in East New York. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns centering around water-related problems. In early 2020, there were multiple complaints including slow water leaks, mold issues, and sewage concerns that were classified as emergencies.

The property has a documented history of plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints in 2018-2019, some of which resulted in HPD inspections with no violations issued. Unsanitary conditions have been a recurring theme, with pest infestations (mice and roaches) and cabinet issues noted in violation notices, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. The building has had several significant maintenance events, including a heat/hot water outage in November 2019 that was resolved shortly after inspection.

Multiple violations were documented in 2019, including issues with kitchen cabinets, roof leaks, and ventilation systems in the second-floor apartment, though these were certified as corrected by 2023. The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in April 2022 regarding electrical wiring but found no violations. Rodent inspections have shown varying results over the years, with the most recent inspection in April 2018 passing. While many of the building's historical violations have been addressed and certified as corrected, the recurring nature of water-related issues and unsanitary conditions suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
