Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 9-unit, 5-story Brooklyn Avenue building in East Flatbush, owned by Alexander Kiszner, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its completion. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, and a fire escape safety issue - both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but did not result in any violations.

The building had a series of garbage storage complaints throughout 2020-2021, totaling five separate incidents, though none resulted in violations. During the same period, there were two rodent-related complaints in 2021, with one resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections according to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

Looking back at the building's earlier history, in late 2018, there were emergency complaints regarding wall painting/plastering and electrical lighting issues, as well as a heat/hot water problem in an individual apartment, all of which were resolved. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the most recent reports, with no infestations recorded in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues during its short history, it is worth noting that most recent HPD investigations have not resulted in any violations, indicating compliance with housing maintenance codes.
