770 Empire Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11213
770 Empire Boulevard is a 6-story, 84-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, built in 1940 and currently owned by Hersh Zarchi. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple building-wide complaints filed in March, April, May 2025, and November 2024, though many complaints were closed with heat/hot water restored during inspections.
The building has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with several unsanitary condition complaints related to pests in 2025, despite some inspections being completed with violations issued, and others where access was not granted. The building's maintenance history shows various infrastructure concerns, including plumbing issues (February 2025), and multiple violations related to self-closing doors and safety systems (smoke/CO detectors) in Apartment 1H, which were certified for correction in December 2024. Recent active complaints from June 2025 regarding elevator service indicate potential current accessibility issues, while earlier complaints in 2023-2024 suggested problems with the building's exterior features (failed FISP Cycle 9B report).
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases since 2019. Historical maintenance records show previous concerns with rodent activity between 2017-2018, though more recent inspections in 2019 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improvement in pest management. Various Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations have been documented over the years, including a 2022 violation for failing to submit required wall inspection reports, though most resolved or were dismissed based on subsequent corrections.
