1489 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The five-story, 8-unit residential building at 1489 Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Jeffrey Zagelbaum, was constructed in 2017 and has undergone several notable events since its completion. Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2024 showing zero affected units between 2023-2024, and consistently showing no infestations since 2021.

The building has experienced minimal violations in recent years, with the last Housing Maintenance Code violation occurring in March 2022 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this violation was ultimately closed. The building's construction phase in 2018-2019 saw multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, primarily concerning safety measures and construction practices. These included issues with dumpster placement near sidewalks, inadequate barriers, and concerns about worker safety during roof construction.

Several complaints related to construction activities were investigated between 2018-2020, including those about excessive debris, illegal after-hours work, and non-compliance with approved plans, though most were found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The property has shown compliance with rodent inspections, with records indicating initial and follow-up inspections in 2017, though both resulted in failure for "Other Reasons." The building's permit history shows consistent documentation and re-issuance of necessary permits throughout 2019-2020, including those for new building construction, foundation work, plumbing, and equipment installation. The most recent permits were properly issued and re-issued in early 2020, reflecting appropriate maintenance of building regulatory requirements.
