68 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

68 Woodruff Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit condominium building constructed in 1905 and located in the Flatbush neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years. Most notably, three separate violations were issued in June 2023 regarding self-closing doors at the building's front entry and vestibule, indicating safety concerns related to building security.

The building has also faced multiple unsanitary condition complaints between 2022 and 2023 related to garbage and recycling storage, though inspections found no violations in these cases. A comprehensive inspection in June 2023 revealed additional violations requiring proper posting of safety notices, including those related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in July 2023. The Department of Buildings records show several construction-related complaints from 2019 through 2024, including a Stop Work Order in 2020 that was later rescinded.

Two violations from August 2022 were dismissed in April 2024 regarding the surrender of filing privileges by the applicant of record. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods from 2022-2024, and a passed rodent inspection in December 2018. While the building's maintenance history shows some persistent issues requiring attention, particularly regarding door and safety notice compliance, recent inspections indicate that many of these have been promptly addressed. The property is managed by the 68 Woodruff Avenue Condominium association.
