867 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit building at 867 Schenectady Avenue in East Flatbush, currently owned by Mirta Collins, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2022, there were multiple emergency situations involving water leaks and ceiling damage, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment and kitchen areas, resulting in open violations related to water damage, mold, and plaster repairs. The building has also had recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in late 2021, though these were eventually resolved.

More recent concerns include two open violations from 2023-2024 regarding bedbug reporting compliance, though the last reported bedbug filing period (2020-2021) showed no infestations. The property has seen some appliance-related complaints, including issues with a refrigerator and stove in mid-2022, but no violations were issued in these cases. The building's maintenance record shows a mixed history of responses to resident complaints, with violations typically being issued for more serious issues while some complaints were resolved without formal violations.

A recent inspection in January 2025 regarding a boiler complaint found no violations at the time of inspection. Historical rodent inspections from 2011 show both failed and passed results, though these are significantly dated given the building's current operation. The property has experienced consistent maintenance challenges over the past few years, particularly in areas affecting basic services like heat and water, though many issues have been addressed through the violation resolution process.
