1626 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

1626 Brooklyn Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Moshe Deutsch. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2024, when there were simultaneous reports and violations related to water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), flooring issues, and ceiling damage.

Specifically, apartment 1A has been the focus of multiple violations as of August 2024, including water leaks affecting ceilings and closets, defective wood floors in the kitchen presenting trip hazards, and mold growth exceeding 20 square feet at the closet ceiling and south wall. While some violations from this period have been marked as "Closed," there remain "Open" violations related to water leaks and flooring issues. The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance challenges, with similar flooring issues reported in July 2024, and an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from July 2022.

However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with regard to bedbug infestations, with reports from 2022 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has also demonstrated compliance with permit requirements, having obtained multiple permits between 2018-2019 for various work, including plumbing and electrical modifications. While the Department of Buildings conducted inspections in response to complaints, they found no violations for some issues, including a 2019 sweep inspection.
