1020 Avenue X, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The two-family house at 1020 Avenue X in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Leah Herskovitz, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety-related concerns over recent years. Most notably, in April 2022, the building received multiple non-emergency complaints relating to various interior conditions including issues with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, flooring problems, cabinet concerns, and reports of pests and mold.

While these complaints were all investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations being issued, they indicate a period of maintenance challenges within the building. More recently, in June 2023, there was an active violation issued regarding the owner's failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though as of the current date this violation remains active in the Department of Buildings records.

This indicates an ongoing compliance issue that may relate to the building's safety systems. Interestingly, a rodent inspection conducted in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that pest management had been effectively addressed prior to the 2022 complaints. The house, constructed in 1930, consists of two stories and is classified as a two-family residence, with all documented issues appearing to be related to interior conditions rather than structural or external concerns.
