1321 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1321 Flatbush Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Femi Realty Corp. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, multiple urgent problems were identified, including hazardous conditions requiring immediate attention to the building's sprinkler system, exterior roof access, and door functionality.

These were accompanied by other maintenance concerns such as pest problems, interior painting requirements, and various infrastructure issues. The building also has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of August 2024, including problems with the fire safety systems, exposed electrical wiring, a defective radiator valve, leaky roof, and issues with fire-retardant plaster in the 3rd floor public hall. Prior to these recent violations, the building's history includes a concerning incident in 2020 involving inadequate lighting, though no violations were issued in that case.

Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unauthorized advertising signage, with penalties imposed for various infractions including installation without permits and improper maintenance requirements, resulting in significant financial liabilities for the owner. Despite these issues, a rodent inspection conducted in June 2023 indicated compliance with pest management standards, showing the building's conditions can vary over time. The property has been classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" building, suggesting it underwent a conversion to a regulated housing status, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
