1241 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1241 Flatbush Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 1241 Flatbush Ave LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly between 2018-2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD for both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. Notably, access for inspections was consistently denied during these incidents.

More recently, as of June 2023, there are active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018, 2019, and 2021. The building is currently facing multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from a 2020 inspection that require attention, including missing safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, heating system access, and gas leak procedures, as well as issues with electrical service to fixtures in public areas. Additional concerns were documented in February 2020, including the presence of an intact refrigerator and household items blocking egress in the third-story public hall, which were subsequently addressed.

The building has a significant history of plumbing and heating-related complaints, with the most recent plumbing issue reported in 2020. While some violations from 2020 were resolved, the current open violations indicate ongoing compliance issues. The pattern of denied access for inspections and recurring heating system problems suggests persistent maintenance challenges, though it's worth noting that there have been no reported 311 complaints or Housing Maintenance Code violations related to these issues since 2020.
