1335 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 9-unit, 5-story residential building at 1335 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Samuel Amsel, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several notable incidents since its completion. Most concerning is a recent heat and hot water emergency in January 2024 that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days.

The building has faced multiple rodent-related complaints between 2021 and 2023, with three separate complaints filed in August 2021, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at those times. A sidewalk shed violation was recorded and served in December 2022, and in May 2024, there was a complaint regarding building shaking or vibrating, which was investigated but found to have no warranted violations.

On a more positive note, the building's bedbug reports from March and July 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 show zero infestations or related issues, suggesting successful pest management in this regard. Additionally, while there was an infrastructure issue with the sidewalk shed in 2022, and the heating system has shown some reliability concerns, only one rodent complaint has been recorded in the past two years, indicating potential improvement in building conditions. It's worth noting that the building's age (only 3 years as of 2025) means it is still within its initial period of operation, where typical settling-in issues have been documented.
