1191 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-unit, three-story building at 1191 Flatbush Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Khalid Bhutta and constructed in 1933, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant being multiple utility problems in 2024. In March 2024, the building faced both power outage and heat/hot water complaints, designated as emergencies by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, though inspections did not result in any violations.

The property has a recurring history of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by complaints in 2019 regarding a window frame and refrigerator problems, and more recently in 2024 concerning plumbing and maintenance concerns, all of which were classified as emergency or immediate emergency but resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" dispositions. The building has undergone regular health and safety inspections, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducting rat sighting investigations in 2023 and 2020 that found no violations, and previous inspections in 2016 and 2021 passed rodent inspections.

An Environmental Control Board violation from February 2018 was recorded, relating to obstructed egress at a ground floor rear door with a padlocked exit sign, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of emergency complaints, though many investigations have been hindered by access issues, making it difficult to fully assess the building's current condition.
