1629 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

1629 Brooklyn Avenue is a 7-story, 22-unit residential building that was newly constructed in 2023 in the East Flatbush neighborhood. The property, owned by Jacob Leifer, has experienced a series of reported issues over its first two years of operation.

Most notably, there was a power outage incident in October 2024 that triggered both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though HPD's attempt to inspect the situation was unsuccessful and required tenants to file new complaints for any persistent issues. Earlier, in January 2024, there was a complaint regarding adjacent buildings not being protected, but this also resulted in an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access.

On a positive note, the building has maintained an entirely clean record concerning bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the official filings for the periods of November 2023-October 2024 and November 2022-October 2023. Despite the relatively new construction's initial power issues, the absence of pest problems over the previous two reporting periods might indicate effective building maintenance in some areas. However, given the relatively limited history of the building, ongoing monitoring of service requests and maintenance issues over time would be prudent.
