218 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 2-family house located at 218 East 34th Street in East Flatbush is a 2-story building owned by Sharon Woods and was constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly during 2020-2021, with multiple tenant complaints focusing on essential services.

Notable problems included unreliable heat and hot water supply, cooking gas interruptions, electrical issues with inadequate lighting, and pest infestations. Between November 2020 and February 2022, there were several emergency complaints filed through 311, with violations recorded for unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical problems, and appliance issues. Investigations conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in December 2020 revealed multiple violations in the first-floor apartment, including problems with heating, hot water, and gas supply to kitchen fixtures.

The building's first-floor unit showed significant maintenance challenges, with open violations as of the last inspection related to the roof leak, various plumbing issues, and multiple pest infestations, including mice and roaches. The most recent documented complaint in March 2022 regarding permit access was recorded but marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." While some earlier complaints from late 2020 and early 2021 were closed, including several emergency-based complaints, it's important to note that many violations remain as "Open" in the records. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of maintenance issues affecting basic services and quality of life for residents, particularly during the 2020-2021 period, though more recent complaint data through October 2023 is not available for review.
