1324 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The two-family house at 1324 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Rudolf Kats, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly related to unsanitary conditions and safety concerns. Most recently, in June 2025, there were three separate complaints regarding pests and mold, though inspections found no housing law violations in these cases.

In September 2024, a cluster of issues was documented, including multiple pest-related complaints (for which violations were issued), as well as safety concerns involving a broken window guard, missing smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector issues. While some of these September 2024 complaints were categorized as emergencies, inspections did not result in violations for all reported issues. A bedbug report from May 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 indicates no infestation problems during that timeframe, with no units affected or requiring eradication measures.

The building, which dates back to 1933, has had a notable pattern of pest-related complaints, with at least seven such incidents recorded between 2024 and 2025, though not all resulted in violations. The property also faces periodic safety compliance challenges, particularly in late 2024 when multiple safety device-related issues were reported, though most recent inspections have shown these conditions did not violate housing laws. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, the frequency and nature of these issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
