591 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 10-unit, 7-story residential building at 591 Flushing Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Amran Niazi and constructed in 2004, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems over the past three years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint, marking the fifth such incident since 2022. The building has also faced multiple cooking gas-related issues, with several emergency complaints filed in November 2022.

Notable violations include an open violation from November 2022 regarding a locked boiler room access issue, and multiple heating system access concerns from both 2021 and 2022. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various repairs, with violations in 2023 corrected involving a defective self-closing door in apartment 6C and leaky faucets in apartment 2C. Three active ECB violations from 2018-2021 are worth noting: a penalty for failure to submit required exterior wall reports, and issues regarding building facade maintenance. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all yearly reports from 2019-2023 showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections show some fluctuations in results, with the most recent inspection in November 2023 passing, though there were reports of rat activity in 2019. The building has experienced other maintenance issues, including multiple heat/hot water emergencies, cooking gas problems, and various other violations, though many of these have been addressed and closed through official inspections and repairs. The property has consistently filed required bedbug reports showing no infestations, and most recent rodent inspections have passed, indicating attention to pest control. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of New York City residential properties, particularly regarding critical systems like heating and hot water.
