597 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 597 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Philip Cramer and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring administrative compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are four active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020, 2021, 2022, and most recently 2023.

While these violations do not necessarily indicate immediate safety concerns, they reflect ongoing maintenance oversight. The building also has a historical pattern of bedbug report violations, though more recent filings from 2021 through 2025 indicate no actual infestations occurred during those periods, with the most recent 2025 report showing no affected units. Earlier records show regular pest control compliance, with rodent inspections passing in 2013, 2018, and 2024.

The only complaint on record with the Department of Buildings was filed in 2019 regarding an illegal or improper vent/exhaust issue, which was investigated and found to warrant no violation. The building's permit history from 2018 shows multiple issued permits for various work, including exterior and plumbing improvements, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the current data. The pattern of violations and inspections suggests the building is generally maintained, though with some recurring issues related to documentation and compliance that have persisted over multiple years.
