1409 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The four-story, 22-unit residential building at 1409 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Sam Wurzberger and constructed in 2020, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its relatively short history. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple emergency maintenance complaints were filed and addressed within days, including issues with flooring, a window frame, toilet plumbing, and electric/gas range. A carbon monoxide detector-related safety complaint was filed in June 2024 and resolved in August 2024 with no violations found by HPD.

Between late 2023 and early 2024, there were two Department of Buildings complaints regarding electrical wiring and work without a permit, though inspections found no violations. The building had some initial challenges during its construction period, with violations issued in September 2020 concerning the failure to certify corrections on hazardous violations, though these were ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, showing zero infested units in all annual reports up to 2024.

Early rodent inspections in 2017 revealed rat activity, but subsequent inspections showed bait application and passed inspections in 2018. The building's permit history shows multiple permits issued during construction in 2019-2020, including for new building (NB), equipment (EQ), plumbing (PL), and foundation work (FO), indicating proper adherence to construction protocols. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention, most complaints have been addressed promptly, and the property has maintained strict compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
