1239 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story two-family house at 1239 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Waheed Afzal and built in 1933, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning essential services like heat and water. Most notably, in 2024, the building faced two emergency situations in May involving a heavy water leak and ceiling plaster issues, both of which were subsequently corrected according to HPD records.

There were also two separate incidents of inadequate heat/hot water service in 2024 (January) and 2021, marking a concerning pattern of service disruptions related to basic utilities. The building's compliance history includes a 2019 violation regarding the failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, though this was dismissed in 2023 with the note "Violation Dismissed." A recent inspection in November 2023 resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection.

While the most recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and recent water-related problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. However, it's important to note that all identified issues have received attention and been officially closed through the appropriate channels, indicating the management has responded to reported problems, even if some patterns of recurring issues are evident.
