2616 Avenue D, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This three-story, three-unit residential building located at 2616 Avenue D in Flatbush, owned by Joe Katz, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2022. During March-April 2022, there were multiple reports of water leak incidents characterized by "heavy flow," heat and hot water issues, and problems with a steam pipe/riser, all categorized as emergency situations.

Additionally, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (specifically mold), issues with various surfaces including paint/plaster problems affecting ceilings, cabinets, and floors, and concerns about appliances including a faulty refrigerator. While all these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were ultimately issued, and all cases were closed.

More recently, in 2024, there was a complaint regarding work done without a permit in this occupied multiple dwelling, though this issue was not resolved due to the inspector's inability to gain access to the premises during the final inspection attempts. On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building during the most recent reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023), with the bedbug report indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero instances of re-infestation.
