74 Lott Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, 4-unit residential building at 74 Lott Street in Flatbush, owned by Shari Serrano and built in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past three years. Most notably, there have been ongoing issues with sewage odors in 2025, with two separate reports filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in May and January.

The building has also faced electrical concerns, including a no-lighting incident in September 2024 and multiple heating and hot water service complaints, particularly affecting the entire building in January and February 2023. Multiple pest-related complaints have been documented, particularly affecting Apartment 3, including mice and roach infestations in 2022-2023, though recent bedbug reports (2021-2025) show no infestations.

The building has had several code violations and maintenance issues, including a broken electrical outlet in Apartment 1 (2023), an improper heating system in Apartment 3 (2023), and various common area maintenance concerns. Recent inspections in 2024-2023 led to the issuance of violations for window guards and heating system problems, though these were later certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows regular permit activity for various repairs and improvements between 2018-2021, including electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building systems and code compliance.
