1770 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 1770 Flatbush Avenue in Flatlands, owned by Martin Deutsch, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2024 that are still pending resolution as of July 2025. The most pressing concerns involve serious moisture-related problems in Apartment 1F, including water leaks, visible mold growth, and associated damage to plaster surfaces and fixtures, with multiple open violations under New York City's Housing Maintenance Code.

An inspection conducted on June 14, 2024, identified several violations including the need for window guard installations, repairs to address water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, remediation of mold conditions, and repairs to defective marble saddles and plaster surfaces. The building has also received a notice regarding the need to file an annual bedbug report, though previous records from December 2021 indicate no bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting period.

The building's only rodent inspection in December 2019 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no significant rodent issues at that time. The most recent service requests in June 2024 included complaints about water leaks, mold, and wall conditions, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development issuing violations for the water leak and mold issues, though no violations were noted for the wall condition. While some of the violations issued in June 2024 have subsequently been categorized as "Closed" in the system, many critical issues remain open, particularly relating to water and mold problems, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
