1734 East 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 1734 East 16th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Jamie Lee, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1940. The property has experienced several notable incidents over the past several years, with the most recent occurring in 2022 when both a rat sighting complaint and subsequent inspection were reported in June.

The health department responded promptly, conducting an inspection that resulted in a passing grade with no violations found. Prior to this, in October 2018, the building faced two significant issues related to resident comfort and safety. There were complaints regarding heat and hot water (classified as an emergency situation) and unsanitary mold conditions.

While the heat and hot water complaint was investigated and no violations were found, the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported mold conditions, leading to the closure of that complaint. It's worth noting that the building has passed all inspections related to these complaints where the inspectors were able to gain access. While the building's inspection history shows some concerning incidents, particularly in 2018, all reported issues have been addressed through official inspections, and no violations have been recorded in more recent years.
