984 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 984 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush, currently owned by Lemuel Richards, has experienced several maintenance issues over its recorded history, with a significant cluster of problems in April 2022 being the most notable event. The building, constructed in 1901, was subjected to multiple complaints spanning from April 26 to April 27, 2022, involving various issues including plumbing problems (water supply), unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance malfunctions (electric/gas range), and issues with walls (paint/plaster).

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections of these complaints, they were unable to gain access to several units during some inspections, particularly regarding heat or hot water concerns and water supply issues. The most serious concerns emerged from the April 29, 2022 inspection, which resulted in two open Housing Maintenance Code violations for the second apartment: one for a missing carbon monoxide detector (B-class violation) and another for a mice infestation (also classified as B).

All other complaints from this period were closed, with varying outcomes - some violations were issued, while others were not. Notably, there have been no recorded complaints or violations for the building since 2022, which suggests either resolution of issues or a lack of new complaints, though this does not inherently indicate improved conditions.
