1393 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 2-family house at 1393 Flatbush Avenue, owned by 1393 Flatbush LLC, has experienced recurring heating issues in recent years, with four heat/hot water complaints reported between January and May 2025 alone, three of which required HPD inspections and violations were issued in two cases. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly affecting the third-story apartment (#3), as evidenced by multiple violations issued in June 2024, including problems with mold (both visible and source-related), peeling paint, an infestation of mice, carbon monoxide detector issues, and roof leaks affecting multiple rooms.

Additional concerns were documented in 2024 related to window guards, plumbing fixtures, and safety violations regarding an illegal roof access lock. The property shows a pattern of delayed maintenance responses, particularly regarding heating system upkeep and mold remediation. Records indicate ongoing compliance issues with annual boiler inspections, with multiple active violations from 2018-2023 for failing to submit required external low-pressure inspection reports.

While the building previously experienced mold and plumbing issues in 2024 and 2025, recent inspections in those specific areas have shown either no violations or closure of previously issued citations. The property also underwent two permit issuances in 2020 related to work performed under job number 340717040. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a rodent-free status since an initial inspection in 2018, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in the last five years.
