1565 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

1565 New York Avenue is a 6-story, 22-unit residential building in East Flatbush, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Abraham Karpen. The building's maintenance history shows several recurring issues, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage in February 2025, which was resolved upon HPD's investigation. In late 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding windows, doors, flooring, and safety concerns, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues during their investigation.

The building has experienced various maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, including a water leak, mold concerns, and multiple paint/plaster problems. Notably, no bedbug infestations have been reported since 2022, and a significant elevator maintenance violation was issued in 2022-2023, though inspections in early 2025 found no violations. During the building's construction phase (2020-2021), several environmental control board violations were recorded, including issues with fire extinguishers, safety equipment, and housekeeping standards, resulting in penalties totaling $12,500.

The building has shown some recurring maintenance issues post-construction, particularly regarding heating systems and various infrastructure elements. While most recent complaints have been addressed, there have been instances of access issues during inspections, making it difficult for authorities to verify and resolve certain problems. The property has maintained valid permits for various works throughout its operation, including plumbing and new building permits issued between 2020 and 2022.
