617 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 13-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 617 Flatbush Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by 617 Fb Associates LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance and pest control issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing rodent problems, with the most recent 311 complaint in October 2024 resulting in violations that require follow-up inspections.
The building has shown persistent sanitary challenges, including multiple pest-related complaints, a water leak incident in 2020, and electric power outage issues in 2022. A series of violations were documented in August 2020 affecting apartment C1, including problems with a water leak, fire safety materials, smoke detector functionality, and pest infestation (specifically roaches). The property has also encountered various maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings violations, including an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2019 external low-pressure inspection.
The building's history shows some improvements in pest management, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting system showing zero infested units in the most recent filings from 2022-2024, following the documentation of one infested unit in 2018-2019. While the property has received multiple permits for various maintenance and repair work between 2018 and 2021 - including plumbing, electrical, and alteration work - concerns about the building's overall condition persist, particularly regarding its responsiveness to sanitary and maintenance issues. The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 confirmed rat activity, following an earlier HPD inspection in April 2024 that could not gain access to inspect reported unsanitary conditions.
