2004 Glenwood Road, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 22-unit, 4-story apartment building at 2004 Glenwood Road in Flatbush, owned by Jean Daniel Hertzog, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, as of September 2024, there are open violations in Apartment 2D related to lead paint hazards, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and multiple repair needs including a broken refrigerator gasket, electrical light switch cover, sink countertop, and issues with floor tiles in the lobby area. The building's maintenance history indicates persistent problems with infrastructure and systems, as shown by multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2024-2025, including issues with flooring, smoke detectors, water leaks, and heating systems. The Department of Buildings records reveal a pattern of concerning maintenance issues from 2018-2023, including boiler problems, illegal conversions, and multiple failure to maintain violations.

In November 2019, serious safety concerns were documented regarding debris in the boiler room and exposed wires. More recently, inspections in 2024 have shown ongoing rodent activity, with compliance inspections repeatedly indicating rat activity despite bait applications. The building's heating system appears to have experienced issues in early 2024, though these were reportedly resolved shortly thereafter. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), the persistent rodent and pest control measures required suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, showing no recorded infestations. However, the building's environmental control board violations and housing maintenance code violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Current open violations from September 2024 include concerns about lead-based paint, electrical systems, and various repair needs in Apartment 2D, as well as issues with the building's public areas. The building's history of heat and hot water issues, particularly during adverse weather conditions, has been a recurring concern, though recent complaints suggest these systems are currently functioning, with the caveat that tenants were required to file new complaints if problems persisted.
