840 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-family residential building at 840 71st Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Monika Skrodzka, has experienced several notable events in recent years that warrant attention. Most significantly, in January 2023, there were emergency heat and hot water complaints from one of the apartments that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though these services were reportedly restored within a couple of days.

During the same period, there was a cooking gas complaint that was investigated by HPD, resulting in no violations being issued. The 1925 two-story structure, which consists of two units, has had relatively few documented issues since then.

In July 2018, the building underwent a rodent inspection which it successfully passed. A separate complaint investigation in late 2023 concerning illegal commercial or manufacturing use in the residential zone was conducted, though no violations were found at the time of inspection in January 2024. While the heating issues from early 2023 were resolved relatively quickly, the building's documented history suggests that these were the most significant recent issues, with more than two years of relatively stable conditions since those events.
