3216 Farragut Road, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 10-unit, 2-story building at 3216 Farragut Road in East Flatbush, owned by Moshe Deutsch and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring electrical problems, with power outages reported in 2024 and no lighting issues in 2023, along with multiple wiring violations documented in 2023. The building has also faced various unsanitary conditions, including confirmed mold and pest problems in March 2023, along with garbage storage concerns.

More serious infrastructure issues were reported in 2023, including water leaks (both heavy and slow flow), and multiple violations related to the roof, plumbing, and interior surfaces. The 2023 violations, primarily affecting apartment 4C, included problems with water leaks, mold, plaster surfaces, and electrical wiring that required attention under New York City's Housing Maintenance Code. The building's recent history also shows some positive developments, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2024), and the resolution of several other maintenance issues, though many violations were initially recorded as "No Violations" upon inspection or were subsequently dismissed.

Historical records from 2018-2020 show additional construction-related violations and safety concerns, particularly during a period of significant work by Cityscape Builders LLC, with multiple citations for failure to maintain proper safety equipment, scaffolding issues, and inadequate housekeeping during construction. The property has had regular permit activity in recent years, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for various types of work, including plumbing, electrical, and alteration projects. While many of the recent service requests and inspections resulted in no violations or prompt corrections, the recurring nature of electrical issues and water-related problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that merit attention. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved issues and some that required multiple inspections before being addressed properly.
