167 Lake Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-family house at 167 Lake Street in Gravesend, built in 1925 and currently owned by Kevin Mitchell, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly affecting its second-floor apartments (2F and 2FLR), with most problems documented between August and October 2019. The building has numerous open violations that require attention, including a pest infestation (specifically roaches) in 2F, missing carbon monoxide detectors throughout, and multiple plumbing issues in both apartments involving defective caulking and leaky faucets at bathtubs.

Significant unsanitary conditions were reported, including mold problems that were investigated by both HPD and DOHMH, though not resulting in violations in some cases. The property has an active violation record from a major inspection on October 10, 2019, documenting various issues in both second-floor units, including defective bathtub fixtures, problematic ceiling plaster and paint conditions, water leak issues in the kitchen, and an unauthorized double cylinder key locking device.

Some emergencies were resolved quickly, such as safety concerns over smoke detectors in August 2019, while other violations remain open as of the latest available data. It's worth noting that while many 311 complaints were filed during this period, their resolution varied, with some being closed without violations and others resulting in active citations that require correction.
