656 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family house at 656 Hegeman Avenue in East New York, owned by Maria David, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heat and hot water service. Between November 2022 and February 2023, there were five documented heat and hot water complaints, three of which were categorized as emergencies.

Notably, there were two related incidents in February 2023, one of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building also faced other maintenance challenges during this period, including unsanitary conditions with pests (documented in November 2022), appliance issues (November 2022), and problems with flooring and ceiling conditions (all reported on November 14, 2022).

While inspections were conducted for these various complaints, it's worth noting that no violations were found in several cases, and in one instance (November 15, 2022), HPD was unable to gain access to the apartment for inspection. While many of these complaints have been officially closed, the frequency and nature of the heat/hot water issues suggest that this has been an ongoing building concern, representing the most significant pattern of service disruptions affecting resident comfort and security.
