5111 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 5111 Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Leecarl Darius, has had several maintenance issues since its construction in 2004, with the most recent being a safety concern in April 2023 regarding a broken or missing window guard. This particular incident, which qualified as an emergency, was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued.

The building experienced significant heating system issues in January 2019, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in apartments, though these were reportedly resolved during HPD's response. Various maintenance code violations have been recorded between 2019 and 2024, with an open violation as of April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though the most recent bedbug report submitted in May 2023 indicated no affected units between November 2021 and October 2022. The building has faced multiple regulatory compliance issues, particularly in 2019, when several violations were recorded regarding building entrance safety and notification requirements.

These included problems with self-closing doors at the street entrance, missing inspection certificate frames, and missing required notices about smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements. All of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by July 2019. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, many of these have been addressed through the violation correction process, though the open bedbug report filing violation from 2024 remains outstanding as of the latest inspection date.
