1252 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family home at 1252 Flatbush Avenue, currently owned by Rachel Phipps, is a 2-story, 2-unit residential building constructed in 1939 in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The building's most significant issues have revolved around heating and hot water system failures in late 2021, with two emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building in November 2021. The first incident, reported on November 5, was resolved within five days when tenants confirmed the restoration of services, while the second incident on November 14 required HPD intervention but was closed without violations being issued, with the note that if problems persisted, new complaints should be filed.

The property has a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug incidents in the past five years (between November 2019 and October 2021), as confirmed by official bedbug reporting systems showing zero infested units, zero eradication efforts, and zero re-infestation cases in both the 2021 and 2022 reporting periods. While the heating system failures in late 2021 represent the building's only documented service-related issues, it's worth noting that these incidents occurred during the transition from fall to winter months, which are typically the most critical for heating system performance verification.
