698 East 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family home at 698 East 39th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Anthony Goscott, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1920. The property's recorded history over the past five years shows relatively limited activity, with two significant incidents occurring in early 2020.

In February of that year, multiple complaints were registered regarding heat and hot water issues within the building, specifically affecting individual apartments. These complaints were filed with both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and recorded in the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints system as emergency situations.

However, HPD's attempts to investigate the claims were unsuccessful due to inability to access the affected apartments, and the complaints were subsequently closed with a note suggesting that new complaints should be filed if the issues persisted. Additionally, there is a record of an electrical work (EW) permit being issued in February 2019, under job number 340661304 and permit sequence number 01, though the specific nature of this work and its relevance to the building's current condition are not detailed in the available records. Since the early 2020 complaints and the 2019 permit issuance, there are no further documented complaints or permits on file for this property through October 2023, suggesting a period of relative stability, though this should be verified against more recent records through July 2025.
