1558 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-family house at 1558 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, owned by Shing Sheung Cheng, has been documented with numerous concerning incidents over the past few years, particularly between 2022-2025. The building has two active violations related to boiler inspections, with one dating back to 2019 (2017 inspection) and another from June 2023 regarding the 2021 external low-pressure inspection.

A significant cluster of health-related incidents occurred in 2024, including multiple complaints about food spoilage and sanitation issues, as well as two separate food poisoning complaints that the NYC Department of Health determined were isolated incidents. Between September and November 2022, there were several emergency maintenance complaints, including issues with heat/hot water, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns, though the Housing Preservation and Development Department (HPD) was either unable to gain access for inspection or ultimately found no violations in several cases.

The relatively high frequency of complaints and violations, particularly regarding building systems and health concerns, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. While some health department complaints have been closed, the building currently has two active Department of Buildings violations related to boiler inspections that remain unresolved as of October 2023. It's noteworthy that during the various service requests, no violations were ultimately issued in many cases, indicating that inspections may not always have corroborated the initial complaints, though this does not necessarily reflect on the current building conditions.
