1319 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1319 Newkirk Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Perry Mallas, in the Flatbush neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and January 2025, though many were subsequently marked as resolved following inspections.

In late 2023, substantial rodent and pest control issues were identified, particularly affecting apartment 34, which received violations for both cockroach and mouse infestations. Other notable maintenance concerns include violations related to building access, safety features, and structural elements, such as a problematic slide bolt at the bulkhead door (Open violation as of October 2023), defective self-closing doors, and access issues to the heating system. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections for various issues, including recent rodent inspections in 2025 that passed.

While bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations, there are unresolved Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file annual inspection reports from 2019 and 2023 that remain active as of 2023. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple complaints regarding water-related issues, including a heavy flow water leak complaint in September 2023 and flooring problems in May 2023, though these were generally resolved without indicating any violations. Recent animal-related complaints in March 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions were investigated but did not result in any citations.
