731 Sheffield Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
731 Sheffield Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by Evadine Bailey. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a fire incident in August 2023 that affected multiple units (1F, 2F, 2R, and 1R), creating a Class C violation requiring the abatement of fire damage. The building currently has several open violations from 2024 and 2023, including an unresolved bedbug reporting requirement (Class A violation) and an open violation related to removed illegal fastenings at the scuttle hatch in the second-story public hall (Class C violation).
The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water (2018), ceiling damage (2019), and safety equipment (fire safety detectors) concerns in 2022. Rodent inspection records from 2009-2012 show previous pest management challenges, with multiple failed inspections before achieving compliance in 2012. Recent inspections in 2022 noted emergency issues with doors/windows and safety equipment, though these were subsequently closed.
The property has maintained regular 311 service usage, with various complaints including unsanitary conditions (2020) and heat/hot water issues, though many of these were resolved through HPD intervention or were marked as closed upon inspection. While the building has undergone numerous inspections and received various violations over the years, many of the issues have followed typical urban housing patterns in New York City, including problems with heating systems, maintenance needs for common areas, and occasional pest management challenges. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the open violation for annual bedbug reporting and the recent fire damage incidents from 2023, which together represent significant impacts on resident safety and building condition that require ongoing attention and resolution.
