1264 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This 2-family house at 1264 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, built in 1933 and currently owned by Rescue The Perishing, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in December 2023, the entire building faced heat and hot water problems that resulted in HPD violations, specifically citing inadequate heat supply in Apartment 2 on the second story.

This pattern of heating system troubles dates back to April 2020 (a similar incident in an apartment unit) and October 2020 (ventilation system issues), both of which faced access inspection challenges. The building has also had significant boiler-related matters, with two active Environmental Control Board violations from February 2020 concerning unregistered New Yorker boilers (CG60E models, SN 65658946 and 65658947), each carrying a $625 penalty.

Additionally, there was an inspection in February 2020 that noted defective or inoperative boiler conditions. While there was a violation issued in November 2019 for not filing the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, this was ultimately dismissed in July 2025. These documented issues suggest ongoing concerns with the building's heating infrastructure, which appears to be a recurring challenge for both the owner and tenants over multiple years.
