979 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This two-story, four-unit tenement building at 979 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Wolvi Goldstein, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025. The most recent cluster of problems emerged in late 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints and violations related to plumbing (including issues with sinks and toilets), electrical systems (lighting and outlets), unsanitary conditions (including pest problems), and safety concerns (regarding carbon monoxide detectors).

Notably, Apartment 1R has documented rodent infestations and various maintenance issues, including problems with the bathtub waste line, plastered surfaces, leaky kitchen faucets, and window frames, though some violations appear to have been addressed by January 2025. The building's inspection history shows recurring concerns with pest control, as evidenced by multiple Annual Bedbug Reporting requirements from 2021-2025, though recent filings indicate no current infestations.

The property has also faced challenges with building systems and safety equipment, including stair safety, garbage storage, and various plumbing issues. While some violations have been resolved, others remain open, including a Class C violation related to roaches and a Class C violation for mice infestation as of late 2024. The building has passed various rodent inspections in the past, with the most recent compliance inspection in 2011 showing mixed results.
