1331 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1331 Flatbush Avenue, currently owned by Maor Salman and built in 1933, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being water and heating problems. Most notably, in April 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water service requests, leading to violations related to inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 2. This apartment has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a leaky kitchen faucet, broken base cabinet, defective electrical outlets, and missing carbon monoxide detector, all documented through violations issued in April 2024.

The building has a history of water-related issues, with heavy flow water leak complaints in 2023 and damp spot leaks in 2022, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The property has undergone several inspections and repairs related to safety and sanitary conditions, including problems with pests, smoke detectors, and security systems such as bell/buzzer/intercom issues, though most of these earlier violations were eventually closed. In terms of safety concerns, there were two past Elevator Safety Violations recorded in 2019 and 2020, though these were resolved.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past eight years. Recent inspections in 2025 found no violations regarding sidewalk shed issues, and previous 2018-2019 fire safety violations concerning exit doors and lighting were also resolved. While the property has a pattern of maintenance issues that require attention, particularly regarding heating and water systems, the owner has generally responded to violations, though some issues remain open as of the latest inspection.
