5424 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

Located in East Flatbush, 5424 Snyder Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Jeanne Derival. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in June 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water problems and plumbing issues with radiators, along with a non-emergency complaint about pests. Unfortunately, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions, leading to their closure with a recommendation to file new complaints if problems persisted.

The building has also been subject to persistent regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four consecutive annual violations from 2021 to 2024 under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports to HPD. Prior to these recent issues, the property underwent one failed rodent inspection in June 2020 for unspecified reasons. A permit for work classified as "EW" was issued in April 2022 under job number 340840362, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data.

The building's recent history raises several flags regarding habitability and maintenance responsiveness, particularly highlighted by the June 2024 complaints that remain unverified due to access issues. The persistent bedbug reporting violations over multiple years suggest either an ongoing pest management challenge or administrative oversight. While the property has a documented history of maintenance violations and compliance issues, it's important to note that many of these have technically remained "open" in the records, indicating they may not have been resolved or properly documented as such, particularly the bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024.
