1420 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1420 Cortelyou Road is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Mike Burhani. The property has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices over the past several years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings since 2020, and recent rodent inspections in 2023, 2022, and 2019 showing passed results, though initial rat activity was noted in June 2019.

The most significant issue in recent history occurred in mid-2022, when multiple tenants reported water supply problems, resulting in emergency complaints though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. A minor safety-related complaint regarding a supposedly damaged guard rail was investigated in June 2024 but found to have no warranted violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to required inspections and reporting, with all six bedbug reporting periods (2019-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units, and the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspection requirements.

A Housing Maintenance Code violation was noted in March 2023 related to the filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to be an administrative issue rather than a health or safety concern. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections between 2018-2024 for various routine matters, including construction and safety compliance, with no violations found in any of these inspections. The building has appropriate permits on file for various work performed in 2018-2019, indicating proper permissions for maintenance and improvement projects.
