285 East 32nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

285 East 32nd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in East Flatbush, currently owned by Joseph Jacob. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently six active violations related to the failure to file required External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, and one violation for not filing the 2017 Boiler Inspection report.

In 2019, the property was subject to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations regarding unpermitted construction work, including improperly installed temporary lighting and power systems, unsafe wiring, and unauthorized demolition of plumbing fixtures. These violations led to penalties totaling $2,850, though at least one ECB violation was later dismissed. The building has maintained a consistent record of reporting bedbug activity, with annual reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units, though there was an initial violation in 2021 for failing to submit the required bedbug report.

Rodent inspections in 2013-2014 showed some compliance issues, with failed inspections noted for Other Reasons. The building's permit history shows multiple construction-related permits were issued in 2019, with some work continuing into 2020. While the property has had numerous violations and maintenance issues, recent records indicate proper bedbug management and no new rodent complaints since 2014. However, the ongoing failure to submit required External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 to 2024 represents the most pressing regulatory compliance issue as of 2025.
