580 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

580 East 26th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Flatbush, owned by David Oberlander and constructed in 1992. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a notable cluster of emergency complaints in May 2022 including electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing issues (basin/sink), flooring concerns, water leaks (heavy flow), safety matters (smoke detector), and ceiling damage (paint/plaster). While some of these complaints were eventually inspected and closed, others were not able to be accessed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for inspection.

A more recent appliance issue with an electric/gas range was reported in December 2022 and closed promptly. The building's history shows some concerning violations from 2015 related to Apartment 1, including improper alterations creating unauthorized sleeping rooms in the cellar level, with associated safety and plumbing concerns still marked as open. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reports from 2021 to present.

Rodent inspections have also been passed, with the most recent inspection in November 2018 showing compliance. The building's system maintenance violations from 1998, including issues with water supply and heating access, appear to have been resolved based on documentation from 2019 certification. While the more recent complaints suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, the property shows consistent effort to address violations when they are reported, though access issues have occasionally complicated inspection processes.
