2709 Snyder Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 2709 Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Leroy Swaby, is a two-story building constructed in 1901 that has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2019.

Between November 19-28, 2019, multiple emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance code complaints were filed, including issues with heat and hot water, plumbing (radiator problems), electrical lighting, various door and window problems (including frames and locks), a refrigerator issue, wall plaster concerns, and alarming reports of mold. A cluster of violations was documented during this period, all listed as "Open" on the November 26 inspection, indicating persistent building maintenance issues: these included problems with the building entrance door lock, ceiling and wall plaster and paint in Apartment 2, bathroom mold, window spring balance, refrigerator door gasket, electrical outlets, reglazed bathtub, electrical outlet cover, and kitchen floor tiles.

While the building's more recent history appears to show improvement in terms of rodent management, with a passing inspection in January 2023, the persistent open violations from 2019 suggest that notable structural and maintenance issues remained unaddressed as of the last available data in October 2023. The absence of more recent complaints or violations could indicate improvements in building conditions, though the age of the building (over 120 years old) and the nature of the previous issues warrant attention to the historical maintenance record.
