585 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The six-story, 65-unit residential building at 585 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by Ditmas Park LLC, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues between 2023 and 2025, with the most pressing concerns being repeated heating system failures. During the past year and a half, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints (January 2025, December 2024, November 2023) for both individual apartments and the entire building, with inspections often being unable to gain access to verify the reported issues. The building has also faced persistent unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2024, with violations documented in multiple apartments (including 2B and 5B) for mold, pest infestations (including reported issues with mice and roaches), and problems with garbage/recycling storage.
In 2024, violations were issued for mold (class B) affecting approximately 10 square feet in apartment 5B's bathroom and ceiling. Additional maintenance concerns include door/window issues logged in September 2024, and historical elevator service complaints, though recent inspections in 2023-2024 found no violations regarding the elevator service. The building has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues extending back several years, including problems with the elevator system (multiple complaints about single-device service with no alternate service), security concerns regarding fire escape egress, and past violations related to curb cuts and illegal parking on the property.
Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2020 reflect ongoing challenges with building maintenance, including a potentially active violation concerning failure to file for 2020 external low-pressure inspection. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years (with no reported infestations in the past three annual reports), residents have experienced recurring issues with mold, pests, and heating systems. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance efforts, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019-2022, though some violations remain unresolved as of 2024.
