737 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

737 Sheffield Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in East New York, currently owned by Etai Vardi. The building's maintenance history reveals several recurring issues, most notably water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks documented between 2020 and 2021, including slow leaks and damp spots. The most recent service request in February 2025 involved heating and hot water issues, though this was resolved shortly thereafter.

A significant cluster of complaints from March 2022 highlighted multiple emergency situations in apartment 2R, including problems with fire escapes, flooring, doors, and various unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning rodent infestations (with violations noted for both mice and roaches). While many of these violations were eventually closed, as of the last inspection action, there were still open violations related to defective fixtures and infestation issues in apartment 2R. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of water-related issues, with complaints about leaks and water damage appearing consistently from 2020 through 2021.

Additionally, the property experienced a building-related complaint regarding shaking or vibration in December 2020, though access was not granted for inspection. Importantly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, with the most recent annual filings from 2022 through 2025 showing zero cases. The property's rodent inspection record also indicates passing status since 2012. While many past complaints have been addressed and closed, the concentration of unresolved and previously existing violations in 2022 suggests there have been ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting unit 2R.
