1859 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The two-story, 1931-built residential building at 1859 Flatbush Avenue in Flatlands, currently owned by Yechiel Weber, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns over recent years. Most notably, in May 2023, multiple emergency issues were reported and subsequently closed, including problems with doors, fire escape safety, and window maintenance. A significant cluster of complaints in August 2021 raised concerns about water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and pest problems, though these inspections were unable to be completed.

The building has had recurring issues with door and window maintenance, as evidenced by the 2022 violations related to self-closing doors. Safety features were a particular focus in 2022, with violations found regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2R, though these were later closed. The building's maintenance history shows regular filing of bedbug reports, with the most recent reports from December 2023 and December 2024 indicating eradication efforts, though typically showing zero current infestations.

A notable oversight occurred in 2019 with the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report, resulting in a $1,000 penalty. Multiple attempts to inspect "work without a permit" complaints in December 2022 were unsuccessful, with inspectors unable to gain access. The property has also undergone various maintenance-related service requests, including for heat and hot water issues in late 2020, which were reportedly resolved. While many violations and complaints have been addressed and closed over time, there remain concerns about recurring maintenance issues and access difficulties for inspections.
