230 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

230 East 26th Street is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building located in Flatbush, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Gabriel Grunblatt. The building has faced recurring issues with appliance maintenance in recent months, particularly with the refrigerator units, with multiple complaints registered between September 2024 and February 2025, some of which resulted in violations that required owner remediation.

Notable problems were documented in apartment 5B during 2024, including pest infestations (roaches and mice) and various maintenance issues, particularly affecting the mailbox system and door hardware. The building currently has active violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2022 and 2023, as well as an earlier violation from 2019 regarding boiler inspection documentation. The property appears to have maintained a generally stable pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and a successful rodent compliance inspection in August 2021, though there was a failed initial inspection in April 2021.

Historically, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion in 2018, but the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claim. Recent appliance issues have been a persistent concern, with multiple HPD complaints and violations requiring attention, though some inspection cases were found not to violate housing laws. The building's overall maintenance history shows regular interactions with housing authorities, particularly regarding appliance issues and compliance with safety inspection requirements.
