2313 Tilden Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 2313 Tilden Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Lorna Francis, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in March 2021, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though city inspectors were unable to gain access for verification of the reported conditions.

The building has also experienced rodent issues, with a complaint registered in April 2019 resulting in an inspection that ultimately passed, following an initial report of rat sightings. Inspection attempts regarding building safety were made in both September 2019 and September 2020, though in both cases inspectors were either unable to gain access or determined that no violations warranted action at the time of inspection. On a more positive note, the building received a permit in February 2022 for unspecified work, indicating some level of proactive maintenance or improvements.

This permit, which is currently listed as issued, may reflect the owner's response to previous building issues. While the documented incidents suggest some recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, the most recent permit issuance could indicate a response to these historical issues. As of now (July 2025), there have been no reported incidents or complaints in the past three years, which may suggest an improvement in building conditions or resident reporting patterns.
