1063 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 2-family house at 1063 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Malkiel Berlianshik, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020, most notably involving water and electrical systems. Between 2023 and 2024, there were three significant water-related complaints: one regarding heavy flow and two involving leaks (one slow and one heavy), with HPD verifying corrections in some cases.

The building has also faced persistent electrical problems, including lighting issues noted in March 2023 and earlier complaints in September 2020 for no lighting, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for those previous reports. Additional concerns have been documented regarding rodents, with two inspections in mid-2022 resulting in failed compliance, and standing water issues investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2022. The property has a documented history of multiple emergency situations requiring attention, including a system-wide heat and hot water problem in November 2019 affecting the entire building.

Two significant complaints were filed in July 2020 regarding possible illegal conversion and egress issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these concerns. While recent records from the 2021-2022 period show no bedbug infestations, the building's age (constructed in 1899) and history of repeated maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems. The most recent documented complaint regarding a heavy water flow issue was resolved in June 2024, but similar problems have recurred, indicating potential persistence of plumbing challenges.
