2144 East 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 2144 East 16th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Allen Cherry, has a notable record from February 2022 that warrants attention. During a single incident on February 9, 2022, multiple emergency complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with no lighting, plumbing problems affecting both water supply and basin/sink facilities, appliance concerns regarding the electric/gas range, and unsanitary conditions related to mold. In total, six distinct complaints were logged, though it's worth noting that HPD inspections of these complaints did not result in any violations being issued.

The building was subsequently cited for two specific violations on February 10, 2022, which were addressed and closed. These included a Class A violation regarding the need for proper drainage provisions at the east exterior wall, requiring the installation of properly trapped, sewer-connected rain leaders, and a Class C violation concerning defective wood trim above the building entrance at the east exterior wall, which posed a falling object hazard. The former was certified as corrected by May 5, 2022, while the status of the correction for the latter is not specified in the records.

Between February 9 and February 12, 2022, all related service requests and housing maintenance code complaints were officially closed. The building, constructed in 1935, consists of two stories and contains two residential units. While the February 2022 incidents suggest a period of maintenance and safety concerns, the subsequent closure of these complaints and violations indicates that the issues were addressed, though some resolution details remain incomplete in the record.
