4809 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, four-unit building at 4809 Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Yvette Haynes, has experienced persistent heating system issues in late 2023, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water recorded between November and December 2023, including emergency situations involving the entire building. The most recent inspection on December 8, 2023, revealed some critical violations, including locked access to the heating system in the cellar/boiler room, though this violation was closed on December 21, 2023.

The inspection also identified several significant issues in apartment 2F, including problems with doors, locks, and safety devices such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as evidence of mice infestation and visible mold in the bathroom area. These violations, categorized as Class B and C, indicate serious habitability concerns that require attention, though most were in the process of being addressed as of January 2024. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with the heating system, dating back to at least 2020.

Other documented concerns have included problems with doors/windows in 2022, and various maintenance issues related to appliances, mailboxes, and general building maintenance. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with no reported cases or treatments required. While many historical complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the recent wave of heating-related issues and other violations in apartment 2F suggests a need for continued monitoring of maintenance responses and conditions in the building.
