357 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, two-family house at 357 Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Chaskel Landau, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in both 2022 and 2023, including a recent complaint in October 2023 that was closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building has two active violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 3L from a December 2022 inspection. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in December 2022, including issues with walls and ceilings (paint/plaster), safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, and emergency heat/hot water problems.

The property also shows concerning patterns of inspection access difficulties, with multiple complaints being closed without proper inspection (e.g., ceiling and wall issues, and safety concerns). Recent regulatory compliance issues are evident, with four active violations issued in 2023-2024 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020-2023. The building has undergone periodic rodent inspections, with the most recent one in May 2023 resulting in a passed inspection, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2015 and 2019.

The property has consistently demonstrated an absence of bedbug issues, with no reported infestations in the most recent three reporting periods (2025, 2024, and 2018). While food establishment complaints were filed in 2018 and 2020 with correspondence from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, these appear to have been resolved. The building's permit history shows an issuance in December 2018, though specific details of this work are not provided in the current data.
