730 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

730 Schenectady Avenue in East Flatbush is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and owned by Nezam Safi. The building has a concerning and persistent history of heat and hot water system failures, with ten separate Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints documented between late 2019 and 2023, most recently on December 23, 2023.

While in several instances heat and hot water were reported to be restored when HPD responded, one inspection in February 2020 was notable for the department's inability to gain access to the building. Currently, there are three active violations with the Department of Buildings for failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020, 2021, and 2022, issued in June 2023.

The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting inspections, with four violations between 2020 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing in May 2025 shows no current infestations, with 0 infested and 0 re-infested dwelling units reported for the period from November 2023 to October 2024. One historical violation from January 2020 cited the presence of household items in the public hall on the third story, which was certified as corrected later that month. While there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints and bedbug report violations over the years, the most recent bedbug filing indicates proper treatment and reporting compliance, though the building continues to face issues with heat/hot water reliability and the external low pressure inspection requirements.
