1436 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The three-story, two-family house at 1436 Flatbush Avenue, owned by George Ferreira and built in 1933, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. The most recent documented incident occurred in March 2024, when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a food establishment matter that was subsequently closed.

Between 2019-2023, the building faced multiple serious maintenance challenges, particularly in February 2019 when numerous violations were recorded including significant water leaks, plumbing issues, and various problems requiring paint/plaster repairs. The Housing Maintenance Code violations from this period indicate multiple Class A and C violations in Apartment 2, including issues with water leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestation, and various structural and maintenance problems that were mostly addressed by March 2019, though some violations remained open. More recent concerns have emerged regarding pest control, with rodent inspections in 2022 showing failed compliance for "Other Reasons," and historical data shows rat activity was documented in 2010.

The building has also been subject to multiple 311 service requests, including a 2018 complaint about carbon monoxide levels (investigated by the Fire Dept), though the specific outcome of this investigation is not fully documented. The most recent rodent inspection failure followed two previous failed inspections in 2022, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management. While some past violations have been resolved, the building's history indicates periodic maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water leaks, pest control, and general upkeep, with the 2019 violations representing one of the most concentrated periods of maintenance issues on record.
