597 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The three-story, four-unit building at 597 Coney Island Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Emanuel Panitz, has a concerning history of maintenance issues over the past several years. The property, built in 1930, is currently facing multiple open violations, including one from April 2024 relating to failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection and another from April 2023 regarding non-compliance with the 2022 external low-pressure inspection requirement.
Two bedbug report violations remain open from March 2023 and April 2024. The building has experienced persistent plumbing issues, particularly involving water supply problems in 2023-2024, though many complaints were not able to be inspected due to lack of access. Multiple service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2023 documented various problems, including issues with doors/windows, paint/plaster damage, and appliance malfunctions.
Of particular concern are open violations from August 2022 in apartment 1F relating to carbon monoxide detector absence, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and utility supply issues (including gas and electric service), though some violations from this period were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with basic building systems and safety features, and many complaints have been closed without resolution due to inspection access issues. While rodent inspections in 2011 and 2014 showed passing results, the more recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
