1205 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

1205 East 55th Street in Flatlands is a two-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Anna Moses. The property has experienced multiple concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in December 2023, including reports of mold, wall issues, cabinet problems, door concerns, window frame defects, and a broken safety window guard.

All these complaints, both emergency and non-emergency, were closed by HPD after inspections were not conducted due to access issues. Additional notable complaints include a November 2022 report about a smoke detector concern and cabinet problems, both of which were similarly closed without inspection access.

The Department of Buildings has records of three inspections related to the property, all indicating access issues for inspectors. These include a November 2022 complaint regarding blocked egress and potential illegal conversion (both marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt"), and a March 2022 electrical wiring complaint, where no violations were found at the time of inspection. The repeated pattern of complaints, particularly regarding safety-related issues such as window guards and egress concerns, combined with the inability of inspectors to access the premises for verification, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety access challenges at this property.
