1886 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The two-family house at 1886 New York Avenue in Flatlands, owned by Eddy Alexis, is a 2-story building constructed in 1925 that has recently experienced multiple significant maintenance issues. In early 2025, the property faced numerous urgent concerns, primarily between February 10 and March 28.

These included multiple reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, electrical issues (including outlets/switches and lighting), pest infestations, wall maintenance needs (paint/plaster), and flooring concerns. Many complaints, particularly regarding heat/hot water and electrical issues, were marked as emergency situations, though HPD inspectors frequently encountered access problems that prevented them from conducting proper inspections, leading to multiple cases being closed without resolution confirmation.

More recently, in June 2025, there was an active complaint regarding suspected illegal conversion of the property, though inspection attempts in July 2025 were initially met with access denial. The building's current state as of mid-July 2025 remains uncertain, as many earlier complaints were closed without proper inspection verification and the recent complaint about conversion remains in an active status. The concentration of maintenance issues reported in early 2025, particularly around heat/hot water and electrical systems, suggests potential ongoing infrastructure challenges, though the exact current condition of these systems is unclear due to the access-related inspection limitations previously encountered.
