1748 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

This two-family house at 1748 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Frances Frankel, is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1920 in the Flatlands neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in March 2022, when multiple complaints were filed including unsanitary conditions (pest infestation), heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, water leaks, and window problems.

Violations were issued for the pest infestation and multiple windows/doors issues during this inspection, with one of the window violations specifically affecting Unit 2F's upper window sash. Additional concerns were noted in previous years, including flooring issues in both units (2020 and 2021), and a mouse infestation in Unit 2R recorded in January 2021, though this violation was subsequently resolved.

The building has also been subject to various safety-related violations, including the requirement to post gas leak and carbon monoxide detector notices in October 2020, both of which were subsequently certified as resolved. Notably, there has been no recent history of bedbug infestations, with official reports for the past three years (2022-2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The most recent building data suggests that while there have been significant maintenance issues in the past, particularly in 2020-2022, the property has shown no new infestation problems in the past three years, though there are still open violations from 2022 related to window repairs and other maintenance issues in Unit 2F.
