345 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 345 East 26th Street in Flatbush, owned by Yoel Shafer, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues since 2020, though recent reports suggest improvements in certain areas. Notably, there was a significant mold complaint recorded in October 2021 that required emergency attention, which was resolved by November 2021.

The building experienced two related violations in 2021 and 2022 concerning the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though all three instances were subsequently closed. A construction-related complaint was filed in March 2021, but the Department of Buildings found no violations upon inspection. Recent bedbug reporting appears to show successful management of the issue, with the most recent filing in January 2025 indicating zero infested or eradicated units, continuing a trend established in previous reports from December 2022 and March 2024.

The building underwent some construction work, as evidenced by a permit issued in December 2020 for an alteration project, though specific details about the work were not provided in the available data. Most recently, in late 2023, there was a Department of Buildings complaint recorded as 7P (though the specific nature of this complaint is not clear from the category alone) which was closed in September 2024 due to the inspector's inability to gain access for the second final attempt. This may warrant attention as it suggests some ongoing access or communication issues, though the complaint ultimately resulted in no violation being found.
