447 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

447 East 26th Street is a 3-story, 2-unit residential building in Flatbush, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Aileen Edwards. The property has experienced multiple concerning incidents related to essential services, particularly during the first half of 2020, with repeated heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These emergencies were documented through multiple 311 complaints, some of which resulted in violations. Other significant issues during this period included electrical problems (both wiring issues and lighting failures), water leaks with heavy flow, and the identification of several maintenance violations requiring attention to safety systems and documentation. More recently, the building has maintained an open violation related to annual bedbug report filings, dating back to 2021, which has remained unresolved through inspections in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

There is also an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2019 regarding unauthorized electrical work, though a related inspection in June 2020 found no violations at that time. Historical records show two rodent inspections in 2010, with one initial failure followed by a successful compliance inspection. The building's history indicates recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and electrical infrastructure, with some violations taking extended periods to address.
