564 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

564 Flatbush Avenue is a three-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by RE Group 564 Flatbush LLC. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heating and water supply problems. Most notably, there have been two heat/hot water complaints in the past 12 months (one in February 2025 and one in December 2021), though access issues prevented inspections in the most recent case. Water-related problems have been significant, including a heavy flow leak complaint in July 2023 and multiple plumbing issues, with documented violations in apartment 2J showing roach infestation and water leak problems as of July 2023.

The building experienced three separate electrical power outage incidents in August 2022, and previous plumbing issues were noted in 2018 regarding inadequate water supply in apartment 2L. The property has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting, showing zero infestations across all reporting periods from 2019 to the present. Environmental control board records from 2018 document issues with a decorative cornice on the north wall that was causing safety concerns, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2013 and 2022.

Recent maintenance activities include several emergency repairs and inspections, with some older complaints from 2022 regarding intercom system and water supply issues where inspectors could not gain access to conduct proper evaluations. The property's current bedbug report for 2024 shows no active infestations or treatments needed, indicating effective pest management protocols in place. The consistent pattern of heating, plumbing, and electrical issues suggests ongoing building systems challenges, particularly regarding water and temperature control. However, the building has maintained good standing regarding pest control and has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by the closure of multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations through proper certification of repairs. Recent complaints have primarily involved access issues for inspections rather than systemic building problems, though the reoccurrence of heating and water-related service requests indicates these remain areas of concern.
