1471 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The three-unit residential building at 1471 Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by David Simon, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2007. The most significant recurring problems involve heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints received in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, though these issues appear to have been resolved with prompt repairs. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, though no violations were issued following inspections.

The building faced some compliance challenges in 2020, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with egress obstruction, the need for proper gas leak notices, and requirements for carbon monoxide detecting device notifications, all of which were subsequently closed. More recently, in 2023, there was a violation noted regarding the heating system key notice, which was certified as corrected. The building's management has maintained an active bedbug management program, with regular reporting showing zero infestation cases in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, suggesting effective pest control measures.

Recent inspections in March and May 2023 resulted in no new violations being issued, indicating improved compliance with housing codes. A rat sighting complaint from 2021 is still listed as in-progress, but no further details are provided. The most recent housing maintenance code complaint data from 2022 shows multiple emergency complaints being responded to, particularly regarding heating and hot water issues, though these were generally resolved promptly based on tenant reports.
