1195 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1195 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Quetlie Jean-baptiste and built in 1933, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in 2025 that warrant attention. Most recently, between February and March 2025, multiple violations were documented, including problems with the floor, toilet, sink, refrigerator, electric range, and lighting - all of which were closed with violations issued.

The building faced significant challenges during this period, with emergency complaints regarding electrical issues, door problems, and stair concerns between January and March 2025. Specific violations were recorded for plumbing (including steam pipe/riser issues), flooring, and various appliances.

Looking back at the building's history, there was an ECB violation in April 2019 related to unsafe conditions in the boiler room, including unsupported flues and exposed wood beams, which resulted in a $1,562 penalty. More positively, the property has reported no bedbug infestations in the past year (2024-2025), with three units treated for eradication in 2023, and there have been no documented bedbug re-infestations in the past two years. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, recent HPD inspections have generally found that conditions did not violate housing laws, though multiple violations were documented that required corrections by the property owner.
