1802 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1802 Newkirk Avenue is a 134-unit, 6-story residential building in Flatbush, constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Mark Levine. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past year and a half, with multiple complaints received between November 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While most of these complaints were resolved promptly, often with confirmation that services had been restored during HPD's investigations, the frequency of incidents suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building has several active violations and maintenance issues that warrant attention. Two Cycle 8B inspection violations from 2019-2020 remain unresolved, concerning the failure to submit required external low-pressure inspection documents and certification of corrections to immediately hazardous conditions. Significant maintenance concerns were documented in 2019, particularly in apartment 6Q, with multiple violations citing issues with plaster surfaces, paint uniformity, and leaking roof problems in various rooms.

The building also underwent multiple work-related inspections in 2021-2024, including three separate investigations for work without proper permits, though these were generally resolved without penalties. In terms of safety features, violations were issued in 2021 for failing to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements. While recent bedbug reports covering 2022-2024 show no infestations, this property has had historical pest management issues, with three units affected in 2019. The building's elevator system received attention in 2023 for maintenance concerns, though inspections found no violations at the time.
