1276 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 3-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building at 1276 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Vincent Beckford and constructed in 1933, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly with heat and hot water systems. Between February 2025 and March 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
The building has also faced electrical problems, with a power outage recorded in March 2025 and more serious electrical concerns in August 2024 that resulted in Environmental Control Board violations for unsafe electrical equipment, with a $4,000 penalty imposed. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including a pattern of heating system failures in recent years (2021, 2022, 2023), issues with mold and ceiling damage in Apartment 3R (2023), and various complaints about paint and plaster conditions.
As of mid-2025, there are still open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements (2023), and a July 2024 violation regarding defective door hinges at the building entrance. The building's rodent inspections between 2016 and 2018 show a mixed record, with some failures noted. While some past violations have been resolved, including various maintenance issues documented in 2023 that were addressed by March 2023, the building continues to experience periodic infrastructure problems that affect resident comfort and safety.
