98 Van Sicklen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 2-family house at 98 Van Sicklen Street in Gravesend, owned by Linda Haddad, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most concerning period occurring in 2019. During 2019, the building faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, with multiple 311 complaints filed and several violations issued.

Of particular note, there were documented problems with heat and hot water systems in December 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Water-related issues were prominent, with multiple complaints about slow leaks and related damage, particularly affecting the ceiling in Apartment 1 on the first floor, which resulted in several open violations regarding water damage and plaster repair requirements.

The building also experienced recurring issues with mold and sanitation problems throughout 2019, with some complaints designated as emergencies. While there were some improvements noted in earlier years, including passing a rodent inspection in late 2010 and only one notable issue regarding a broken bathroom mirror, the most recent available data (up to October 2023) shows that many of the 2019 violations remain open as of July 2025. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and habitability standards, particularly during the concentrated period of complaints in 2019.
