1071 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This 2-family house located at 1071 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Andrew Amicy, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2020. The building's most recent inspections in July 2025 confirmed rat activity, continuing a troubling pattern of infestations.

The property has faced significant heating system issues, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems between March and November 2024, though some complaints were either resolved or required resubmission for continued issues. In 2020, the building underwent inspections revealing multiple violations in Apartment 2, including rodent infestations (both roaches and mice), unsatisfactory plaster and paint conditions, a missing carbon monoxide detector, and concerns about an illegal double cylinder lock. These violations, which were classified as Class B and C, have remained open without certified resolution dates.

The building's history also includes various other maintenance issues, such as electrical wiring concerns (March 2024), an appliance problem with the electric/gas range (2020), and unsanitary conditions involving mold (2020). The Department of Buildings conducted an investigation in March 2024 regarding a potential illegal conversion, though the inspector was unable to gain access during both final attempts in May 2024. The property has shown a pattern of requiring multiple complaint submissions for persistent issues, as seen in both the heating system problems and various other maintenance concerns.
