701 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

701 Flatbush Avenue is a two-story, two-family house located in Brooklyn's Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. The building, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Launa Elkallassy, has undergone several significant events and maintenance issues over its history. Most notably, the property faced multiple violations in 2008 that raised safety concerns, including issues with vermin infestation (both mice and roaches) in the 2nd floor apartment, inadequate smoke detector functionality, lack of proper carbon monoxide detecting devices, and security concerns with a double cylinder key-operated lock.

These violations were eventually resolved, with documentation showing certification of compliance in late 2019. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2023, consistently reporting zero infested dwelling units across all filing periods. In 2010, the building was cited for inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance, while more recent records show the property has not had any major safety violations in recent years.

The only notable service request in recent history was a food poisoning complaint in 2018, which was promptly addressed by health authorities. Two building permits were issued in 2019 for unspecified work, though the permit status has been consistently shown as "ISSUED". Throughout the years, the owner has shown compliance with various housing maintenance codes, including the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, indicating an effort to maintain proper housing standards.
