1600 Caton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
1600 Caton Avenue is a 6-story, 79-unit residential building located in Flatbush, built in 1957 and currently owned by Lawrence Bernstein. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD, though inspections often could not gain access for verification. More recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about water supply issues and heat/hot water problems.
The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2022, 2023, and most recently in July 2025 showing persistent rat presence, though a compliance inspection in May 2023 passed. Significant structural and maintenance issues were noted in 2021-2022, including hazardous balcony conditions with cracked and spalling brickwork, which led to a vacate order for the balconies. Multiple violations were issued for facade maintenance issues, including unsafe electrical wiring and various door-related problems in the basement.
Under the Environmental Control Board, violations were found in 2022 regarding exterior wall conditions and sidewalk shed requirements, though all were subsequently resolved. The building has a consistent record of heat and water system problems, with complaints continuing into 2025. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, various maintenance violations related to fire safety and building systems have been documented through both HPD and DOB.
