1286 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The six-story, 14-unit building at 1286 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Shlome Landau and completed in 2020, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly with electrical systems and heating. Most recently, in March 2025, there was an electrical power outage that triggered an HPD inspection attempt (which couldn't be completed), and in 2023, complaints were filed regarding electrical outlet/switch problems and water leaks, though HPD was also unable to complete inspections for these issues.

The building has faced heating system challenges, with emergency complaints about heat/hot water systems in both the entire building (November 2022) and a single apartment (February 2023), though no violations were found in the February inspection. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the past four reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. While there were rodent sightings reported in 2018, inspections during that period resulted in passing outcomes.

The building's construction phase (2018-2020) experienced multiple Department of Buildings violations related to worker training compliance and safety signage, all of which were resolved. The heat and water-related issues, combined with electrical problems, suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges, though the building is relatively new (constructed in 2020) and has passed various health inspections during its operation period. Recent bedbug reports indicate no infestations, and previous rodent issues have not recurred in recent years, with inspections showing compliance.
