3626 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The 72-unit, 6-story building at 3626 Kings Highway in Flatlands, owned by Barbara Brown and constructed in 1939, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Between January 2025 and April 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints and violations, including mold concerns, plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, and various door/window issues.

Two active ECB violations exist from 2023 related to elevator safety equipment requiring a $2,500 penalty, and multiple other historical violations remain open, including building-wide safety concerns such as missing sprinkler coverage in the laundry room (2019, potentially $2,500 penalty) and improper gas installation (2019, potentially $7,500 penalty). The building has faced recurring elevator problems, with recent complaints in 2025 about single device service, and past violations relating to missing safety features. The property has had a history of systemic issues affecting resident comfort and safety, including heat/hot water problems reported in January 2025 affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though these were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD.

Apartment 3J has documented ongoing violations from 2021-2022 related to plumbing, electrical, and safety equipment concerns, including defective light fixtures and non-functional safety devices. While there have been previous bedbug infestations reported in 2019 (affecting 2-4 units), recent annual filings from 2020 to 2024 show no reported infestations. The building's maintenance record includes some positive notes, such as recent HPD inspections in 2025 clearing most complaints, though several violations have been identified requiring attention, particularly regarding elevator safety features and unresolved building systems issues.
