957 East 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 957 East 57th Street in Flatlands, owned by Maria Mccauley, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2003, most notably concentrated in early 2019 and early 2023. In February 2023, there was a complaint regarding a refrigerator issue, which remained unresolved due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access for inspection.

Earlier, in January 2019, multiple complaints were filed on the same day regarding various issues, including problems with heat/hot water, door/window concerns, and a fire escape safety matter. While the heat/hot water issue was confirmed and corrected according to HPD's follow-up, no violations were issued for the door/window and fire escape inspections, suggesting these matters were either found to be compliant or not as serious as initially reported. The 2019 complaints specifically mentioned problems with a door, a window frame, and fire escape safety, though all were eventually closed without violations.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring HPD's attention, with the most recent being the unresolved refrigerator problem from 2023. This suggests potential ongoing maintenance challenges within the property, particularly regarding appliances and basic utilities, given that both the 2019 heat issue and 2023 refrigerator complaint relate to essential home systems. While most issues have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections, the inability to inspect the 2023 complaint raises questions about the current status of that particular appliance problem.
