1624 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1624 Cortelyou Road in Flatbush, owned by Raul Izquierdo, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several notable events over recent years, with particular attention to safety compliance requirements. Most recently, in May 2023, the Department of Housing Maintenance Code issued two violations related to tenant safety notifications: one regarding the posting of gas leak procedures and another concerning carbon monoxide detection device requirements. These violations were certified as corrected by May 18, 2023.

The building also has an active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from April 2023 regarding an unfiled 2022 external low pressure inspection, which remains open as of July 2025. The property's service request history includes a 311 complaint from January 2020 regarding a mobile food vendor, which was eventually closed by the NYC Health Department. More recent DOB complaints include an active complaint from May 2024 about excessive debris, though the first inspection attempt in June 2024 was denied access.

A resolved complaint from July 2021 regarding an unpermitted work issue resulted in no violation being warranted at the time of inspection. Historical rodent inspections from early 2011 show initial rat activity in February 2011, though a subsequent compliance inspection in March 2011 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has addressed some safety violations, the current open DOB violation and recent building complaints may warrant monitoring as of 2025.
