260 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 8-story, 22-unit residential building at 260 Flatbush Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Kevin Ye, was constructed in 1921 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly concerning compliance and access issues. Two separate Department of Buildings complaints in 2019 and 2020, both relating to construction violations and work without proper permits, were marked as closed due to inspectors' inability to gain access on their second final attempts.

These complaints were logged in July 2019 and January 2020, with the investigation occurring in September 2019 and January 2020 respectively. More seriously, the building was subject to an immediately hazardous (Class 1) violation in December 2018 pertaining to failure to certify corrections, which though dismissed in April 2019, indicates a past compliance issue that required attention.

The absence of any building code violations or complaints from mid-2019 through the current date (July 2025) suggests either improved compliance with building regulations or a potential decrease in reporting. The building's age and its location in the highly desirable Park Slope neighborhood have likely contributed to ongoing maintenance and compliance scrutiny, though no recent complaints or violations have been recorded in the past four years. The two-year gap between the last documented complaint in 2020 and the absence of subsequent violations as of mid-2025 could indicate stabilized building management practices, though it should be noted that the available data only extends through October 2023.
