621 Remsen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family residential property at 621 Remsen Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Abion Burton, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. In October 2018, there were complaints about heat and hot water problems in the building, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection.

Earlier that same year, in April 2018, an inspection of the basement apartment (FL1) revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including a broken or defective drain pipe at the bathroom wash basin, and inadequate electrical service to ceiling fixtures in both the kitchen and private hallway areas. These violations were officially certified as corrected by February 2019.

In addition to these maintenance concerns, there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in August 2018 for an address in the 11236 area (though the specific address connection is unclear in the records), which was investigated by the Department of Buildings in September 2018 and resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. The building, constructed in 1945 and consisting of two stories, has shown a pattern of maintenance issues particularly affecting the basement apartment during 2018. While there have been multiple reported issues, it's worth noting that the most recent documented violations (from April 2018) were certified as corrected in early 2019, and there have been no documented complaints or violations in the subsequent years leading up to 2025.
