1271 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 1271 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, currently owned by Marie Pierre, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues throughout 2025. The most significant ongoing problems have centered around heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints in both April and May 2025 regarding functionality issues in both individual apartments and the entire building.

Electrical problems have also been a persistent concern, with complaints about power outages and lighting issues, particularly during April and May 2025 when inspectors were unable to gain access to complete necessary inspections. Additional troubling conditions have been reported, including multiple mold incidents, water leaks, flooring issues, and ventilation problems, with HPD consistently unable to complete inspections due to access issues.

The building has continued to experience systematic issues into mid-2025, with housing maintenance code complaints in June 2025 documenting problems with the plumbing water supply, garbage storage, missing signage, and another power outage incident. The Department of Buildings record from 2022 shows a gas utility referral that was investigated but resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. The frequency and variety of issues reported throughout 2025, combined with the inability of inspectors to gain access to investigate many of the complaints, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, though it is worth noting that many of the most recent complaints were marked as resolved through emergency closings in June 2025.
