604 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit building at 604 Hegeman Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Keyoumars Keypour, was constructed in 1930 and classified as a "New Law Tenement." The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a power outage in late 2024 that was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations. Between August-September 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including mold, slow leaks, and paint/plaster problems in walls and ceilings, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

More concerning is an open violation from January 2019 regarding self-closing doors in Apartment 2F, and a previously resolved Environmental Control Board violation from April 2019 involving a collapsed section of the cellar ceiling measuring approximately 3x5 feet. The building has undergone several inspections and faced various violations over the years, including multiple citations in 2018 for maintenance issues in common areas such as refuse accumulation, inadequate lighting, and cleanliness of public spaces. The property has consistently maintained a record of proper bedbug management, with all reports since 2021 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Additionally, rodent inspections have shown compliance since 2012. Recent improvements include the filing and issuance of permits for plumbing (PL) and electrical (EW) work in 2018, suggesting some attention to infrastructure maintenance. While the building has demonstrated an ability to address many violations promptly, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly during 2021-2019, indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep and maintenance responsiveness.
