1521 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, 40-unit apartment building at 1521 Beverley Road in Flatbush, owned by Sharon Stefansky, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints and violations emerging during this period. Notable recent problems include unsanitary conditions related to pests, sewage issues, and garbage storage, though inspections generally found these conditions did not violate housing laws. There are also several active housing maintenance code violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 1J, including issues with electrical service, radiator painting, floor repairs, water leakage, and various plaster and paint maintenance concerns, all marked as open violations as of January 2025.

The building has a history of rat activity as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections in 2024, with the most recent inspection in December 2024 resulting in a "Passed" designation. The property has experienced persistent administrative challenges, particularly regarding energy benchmarking compliance, with active violations dating back to 2021-2023 for failing to file required energy use reports. Historical records show previous issues with a boiler complaint in 2022 and scaffolding safety concerns in 2018, though both were ultimately found to have no violations at the time of inspection.

Fortunately, recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 indicate no infestations in the building during the reporting periods. While the building is maintaining basic habitable conditions, the presence of active violations and recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed several rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, suggesting some improvements in pest management, though past inspections showed rat activity.
