2825 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 2825 Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Solomon Feder and completed in 2018, has experienced several notable issues since construction. Most concerning is a recent finding from December 2022 indicating potential illicit occupancy of the cellar space, which is supposed to be used for mechanical systems and laundry only.

In early 2023, there was a series of approximately 15 complaints and violations concentrated around February-March 2023, including electrical issues (no lighting, wiring), door problems, smoke detector concerns, flooring issues, and a heat/hot water complaint, though inspections found no violations in these cases. Additional safety concerns emerged with both carbon monoxide and fire safety violations in late 2022, including a C-class violation requiring immediate fire guard coverage due to observed fire hazards, which appears to be the only remaining open violation as of the latest inspection data. The building underwent standard inspections for bedbugs between 2019-2025, with no reported infestations, and has had regular rodent inspections showing rat activity in January 2023, followed by a compliance failure in February 2023.

Multiple complaints regarding illegal work and debris were filed in early 2023, with some resulting in Oath violations, though most inspections found no violations. The property has maintained a record of proper permit acquisition during construction in 2018, with several permits issued for different work types including new building, foundation, and electrical permits. While many issues have been resolved and violations closed, the concentration of complaints during early 2023 and the regulatory scrutiny regarding cellar usage suggest ongoing management challenges.
