676 East 57th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The three-story, two-family house at 676 East 57th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Misan Williams and built in 1960, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. Between November 2023 and December 2023, the building faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants.

While some of these complaints were resolved upon verification by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), several inspections were unable to gain access to the affected apartments. The building has also dealt with various urgent conditions during this period, including reports of water leaks (with heavy flow described), unsanitary conditions related to pests, and mold concerns - though inspections for the pest and mold complaints did not result in any violations being issued. The most recent building record from June 2024 involved a construction enforcement work order, which was inspected and found to require corrective action, though this was reportedly corrected by July 2025.

The available data suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and water-related issues, with multiple reports of non-compliance or access issues during inspections. While some conditions have been addressed through verification processes, the frequency and variety of complaints indicate a pattern of maintenance concerns that may impact resident comfort. The property has gone through various stages of housing code compliance checks, with most recent inspections occurring in summer 2025, indicating ongoing monitoring of building conditions.
