775 Westminster Road, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story building at 775 Westminster Road in Flatbush, owned by Yevgeny Goldberg, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2019. The property, built in 1910 and originally classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, has faced recurring problems with heating and hot water systems across the entire building in January 2019, and multiple complaints regarding stair hazards throughout that year.

Of particular concern are safety issues related to illegal unit conversions: in September 2019, the Department of Buildings documented occupancy violations concerning illegal partitioning creating four S.R.O units on the second story, resulting in a $620 fine. During this same period, there were multiple violations regarding fire escape access and emergency egress, including a key-operated lock at a critical entrance.

More recently, the building has had two open violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug report from 2022 indicated no infestations during the previous reporting period. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of accessibility issues for inspectors trying to address heating problems and other maintenance concerns, suggesting potential challenges with unit access for repairs and inspections. While some violations from 2019 have been resolved, including the removal of an air conditioner obstructing a fire escape, the building continues to have open violations related to bedbug reporting as of the latest available data.
