535 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The six-story residential building at 535 Flushing Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Paul Pollack and constructed in 2015, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues between 2018 and 2025. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 through 2022, with violations issued in June 2023 for failure to comply.

The building has also faced structural concerns, evidenced by a complaint in September 2022 regarding building under structural monitoring, which led to two Environmental Control Board violations for failure to submit an engineer's report regarding structurally deficient conditions. While the building has demonstrated some compliance with pest management, recent inspections show an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous periods reported zero infested dwelling units. The building's history includes various construction and permit-related issues, particularly in 2018 when construction work (job number 321829544) prompted multiple complaints and violations, including a Partial Stop Work Order in April 2022, though a subsequent inspection revealed no violations.

There were also concerns about rat activity in 2010, with several bait applications recorded, and inspections between 2018 and 2022 showed a mix of compliance and non-compliance with rodent control measures. The most recent environmental violation from October 2023 remains active, with a $2,500 penalty related to the structural monitoring requirements. The building's bedbug reporting records show zero infestations in the most recent filing period (2021-2022) and the previous period (2019-2020), suggesting effective management of this particular issue, despite the recent administrative violation.
