1077 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The four-story, 30-unit residential building at 1077 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Peter Rebenwurzel and constructed in 1926, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about heavy water leaks documented between 2024 and 2025, including violations issued in September 2024. More recent concerns include a smoking violation in February 2025 and complications with heat and hot water systems in December 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
The building has also faced rodent activity issues, with the most recent inspections in 2023 showing evidence of rats. Additional maintenance problems were identified in 2024, including mold issues in Apartment A5 (October 2024) and various violations in Apartment C7 (September 2024) related to plaster, paint, and water leaks. While the building has shown improvements in some areas, such as cumulative bedbug reports indicating zero infestations or eradications since 2020, the persistence of water-related issues, heat system failures, and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though past infestations were documented in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The building experienced a significant heating system failure in December 2024, which was reportedly resolved, but not before triggering multiple complaints. The Department of Buildings received a complaint about illegal conversion in 2021, though access for inspection was denied. Recent health and safety concerns, particularly around water systems and heating, appear to be the most pressing issues affecting resident comfort and building maintenance.
