1709 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 1709 Flatbush Avenue in Flatlands, currently owned by Joan Fazziola, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past three years, particularly concerning its heating and plumbing systems. Most recently, in June 2023, the property faced serious regulatory scrutiny regarding newly installed gas water heater and boiler systems, with violations issued for operating equipment without proper certifications and inspections, resulting in combined penalties of $3,750.

These installations reportedly occurred under an old permit (#B08028384) from 2008, which had not been properly updated or verified. Prior to this, in late 2022, the building experienced problems with its heating systems that continued into 2023, beginning with a boiler-related complaint in November 2022 that was investigated in December of that year, leading to an Oath Violation. This incident was followed by the discovery of an unpermitted Burnham boiler installation, documented as an active violation in December 2022, for which penalties were also assessed.

As of October 2023, there remains an active violation concerning the failure to certify corrections to an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation related to the building's systems, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges. While these issues indicate significant concerns about the building's heating and plumbing systems and regulatory compliance, it's important to note that all the ECB violations have been marked as "Resolved" in the system, though some related matters appear still pending or under review. The building's documented history shows a pattern of unpermitted work and delayed compliance with necessary inspections and certifications, primarily focusing on heating and plumbing systems.
