633 Remsen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The 633 Remsen Avenue property in East Flatbush is a two-family house built in 1931, currently owned by Christos Tjutjulis. The building has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly evident in March 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, electrical issues, and appliance concerns, with several inspections being conducted but access not granted in some cases.

The most significant and persistent problems emerged from the first-floor apartment (1F), where multiple open violations were recorded following a March 2020 inspection, including issues with roof leaks, defective plaster surfaces, plumbing problems (leaky bathroom faucet), and multiple maintenance concerns in both the kitchen and bathroom. More alarmingly, this apartment was also cited for pest infestations, specifically roaches and mice, along with issues requiring immediate attention such as a broken refrigerator door gasket and problems with the bell and buzzer system. While there was a rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 that passed, indicating possible remediation of previous infestation issues, concerns about the building's overall maintenance remain due to the number of open violations that have persisted since 2020.

Additionally, there appears to have been a Certificate of Occupancy-related inspection in March 2021 that could not be completed due to access issues. The building consists of 2 stories and 3 units, though some of the complaints and violations suggest there may have been unauthorized modifications. As of March 2020, there were also identified issues with the building's roof that affected both the first-floor apartment and public hall area on the second story, including leaks that required attention.
