497 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story, four-unit building at 497 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Aldric Carasco and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 related to Apartment 3, including requirements to address plaster and paint conditions on walls and ceilings, as well as installing or repairing window guards.

The building had multiple emergency complaints in early 2023, all of which were closed, concerning water leaks, electrical wiring issues, carbon monoxide detector concerns, and smoke detector problems. In late 2022, three emergency complaints were filed regarding door and fire escape safety issues, and a heat/hot water complaint was resolved in December 2022. The property has ongoing regulatory concerns, including an open violation from April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though the most recent bedbug report from February 2023 covering the period of November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infestations.

There were also two emergency door/window complaints from late 2022 that were closed in mid-2023. The building's system maintenance record shows a boiler-related complaint in March 2023 where access was not granted for inspection, and an illegal conversion complaint from November 2022 that warranted no violations at the time of inspection. A permit for work classified as "EW" (presumably relating to electrical or ventilation systems) was issued in September 2023.
