1898 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The 2-family residential building at 1898 Schenectady Avenue in Flatlands, Brooklyn, owned by Emmanuel Adu-okoampah, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2). In March 2018, the building was inspected and found to have multiple significant housing maintenance code violations, including the presence of mold in the bathroom ceiling, which was designated as a "B" class violation and remained open as of the latest report; structural issues involving broken or defective plastered surfaces and improperly painted walls/ceiling; and serious infestation problems including mice, bedbugs, and roaches, all of which were categorized as "B" class violations.

While these violations were technically closed by May 2018, records indicate that one significant issue - the mold problem in the bathroom - remained open. More recently, in October 2024, there was a complaint regarding defective or exposed electrical wiring at the property, recorded under complaint number 3978870.

An inspection was conducted on October 4, 2024, and while the complaint was closed shortly thereafter, the inspectors determined that no violations warranted further action at that time. Given the pattern of earlier infestations and maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that while some violations from 2018 were addressed and certified as corrected, the building has a history of persistent maintenance issues that could impact resident comfort and safety.
