787 East 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 6-story, 61-unit residential building at 787 East 46th Street in East Flatbush, owned by David Malek, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2025. Recent concerns include multiple complaints about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (most recently in June 2025), water-related problems including both heavy flow leaks and slow leaks (May-June 2025), and plumbing issues with basins/sinks. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device service and no alternate means of egress between 2023 and 2025 remaining active as of April 2025.
Additional building maintenance challenges are evident in both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, including electrical issues, door problems, and multiple sanitary condition complaints. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug regulations, showing zero infestation reports in the past several years. However, significant violations were documented in late 2024, particularly in apartments 6A and 2J, including issues with self-closing doors, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and evidence of rodent infestation.
The building's laundry facilities have faced scrutiny, with a 2023 violation regarding the absence of a required sprinkler system for commercial gas dryers, though this was later dismissed following compliance confirmation. Other notable historical issues include an illegal plumbing modification violation from October 2023, and concerns about building access and maintenance in 2019-2021. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspection showing compliance. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with water systems, elevator service, and garbage management, while maintaining a clean record for bedbugs and demonstrating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements through permit acquisitions and violation resolutions.
