1206 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1206 Flatbush Avenue, built in 1933 and currently owned by Marie Lima, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions. During this period, there were multiple reports of mold and pest infestations (including mice and roaches) in Apartment 2, with emergency complaints specifically noting mold problems on the south wall of approximately 6 square feet.

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development conducted inspections and issued violations requiring the repair of these conditions, including a violation related to a defective carbon monoxide detector in the same apartment. While some of these violations were certified as corrected by November 2020, a more recent review reveals ongoing compliance issues, with active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 and 2020 External Low-Pressure Inspections.

The building's documented history suggests a pattern of moisture-related problems, including the 2020 mold issues, though it's worth noting that these complaints were concentrated within a specific timeframe of August-September 2020. The more recent low-pressure inspection violations from 2023 indicate potential ongoing maintenance oversight, though this appears to be a different category of compliance than the previous mold and pest issues. The building's history demonstrates periods of required remediation work, with some violations being addressed and closed, while others, including the current active violations, remain open as of the latest available data.
