735 Fenomore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

735 Fenimore Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, completed in 2020 and currently owned by Oz Shemesh. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints documented between March 2023 and March 2024, including one instance involving the entire building and another specifically affecting Apartment 4.

The 2023 inspection resulted in Class C violations related to hot water access in Apartment 4, locked boiler room access, and a previous repair issue in Apartment 2F, though these were certified as corrected between June and July 2023. A slow water leak complaint from January 2023 was also investigated, though no violations were found. During the construction phase in 2020-2021, the building was subject to several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including failures to maintain safety equipment measures and inadequate pedestrian protection, resulting in various penalties.

Multiple ECB violations were issued during construction regarding safety compliance, scaffolding, and notification requirements, with penalties totaling over $9,000. More recent building management appears improved, with no bedbug reports since 2021-2022 and three consecutive years of zero infested or eradicated units reported (2023-2025). While the building is relatively new and has maintained active permit issuance (with multiple permits issued between March and September 2020), the recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years remain a significant concern for resident comfort.
