1122 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

1122 New York Avenue in East Flatbush is a 4-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Samuel Singer. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during 2025, with multiple housing violations and inspection failures. Of particular concern is Apartment 3C, which has multiple open violations from a November 2024 inspection regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, persistent water leaks, and various plumbing and plaster issues.

The building has also faced electrical concerns, with a complaint about defective/exposed wiring logged in October 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The property has an ongoing rodent infestation problem, as evidenced by multiple rodent-related service requests and inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, most recently in June 2025, when bait was applied. In April 2025, several housing code complaints were logged regarding various maintenance issues including painting/plastering, water leaks, electrical problems, and flooring concerns. While many of these complaints were closed, they were either not inspected due to access issues or were found not to violate housing laws, except for one door-related violation that received an official citation.

Additionally, a July 2024 Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding cracked and displaced cement coating at the front entry, with a penalty of $1,250 still due. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with no reported infestations between 2018 and 2025. However, the recent cluster of maintenance issues and rodent problems indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property maintains an active pattern of rodent control efforts, with bait applications and inspections occurring regularly throughout 2024 and 2025, highlighting a persistent pest management issue.
