567 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

567 Midwood Street is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and owned by Sybil Neysmith. The 1940 building, classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" property, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly in early 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of service, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating system problems appear to be ongoing, with additional heat-related complaints recorded in late 2022.

The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024-2025, most notably related to bedbug reporting requirements and safety notices. These violations include requirements for gas leak procedures, building entrance lighting, and various safety notifications that should be posted in common areas. Recent rodent activity has been documented in 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing rat presence and the application of bait, indicating an ongoing pest management issue.

The property has a history of various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (water supply) in February 2023, and electrical concerns such as lighting and outlet/switch problems in 2018-2019. A mold-related complaint was recorded in 2020, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. While some issues have been addressed and closed, including certain plumbing and electrical problems, the building continues to face challenges with heat/hot water service, safety compliance, and pest control. The most recent inspection records show ongoing rat activity as of early 2025, despite bait application efforts.
