1524 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 9-unit, 5-story residential building at 1524 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Faigy Friedman and constructed in 2020, has experienced several maintenance issues since its completion. Most recently, in early 2025, there was a pest-related complaint that HPD inspectors were unable to investigate due to access issues, with a similar pest complaint recorded in January 2025.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods between 2020-2024. Other notable incidents include a plumbing emergency involving a sink or basin in early 2024, and various construction-related issues during the initial occupancy period between late 2020 and early 2021, including complaints about sidewalk shed conditions, construction compliance, and adjacent building protection, though all these complaints were resolved and stop work orders were rescinded. The building's permit history shows proper documentation and issuance of necessary permits during construction, including final and new building permits in November 2020.

In March 2022, there was a violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent years. An environmental violation from November 2020 involved a soil excavation issue near the property line with adjacent building 1526, resulting in a $5,000 penalty that remains unpaid as of now. The building's overall record shows regular compliance with reporting requirements since 2021, with no major recurring issues that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort, though recent access issues for inspections should be noted.
