1827 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The three-story, two-family house at 1827 Flatbush Avenue, owned by Myra Srebro and built in 1931, has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (FL2ND). As of 2025, there are several active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018, including problems with multiple fixtures and infrastructure, such as a defective kitchen sink drain connection, radiator cover issues, bathroom light fixture problems, and various door-related defects.

Notably, there was an active infestation issue requiring attention to address mouse presence throughout the entire second-floor apartment. More recently, the property has faced significant regulatory challenges, with two active Environmental Control Board violations from September 2024, including obstructed egress that involves safety concerns with an obstructed drop-down ladder and various construction violations related to an unauthorized extension built with combustible materials.

The building's history also shows persistent pest control challenges, with multiple 311 service requests between 2020-2021 reporting rodent and sanitation issues, culminating in official rat activity inspections in March 2021 and February 2022 that required bait application. Recent complaints have indicated serious safety concerns, including blocked egress systems, though some complaints were found to have no violations upon inspection. While many historical complaints have been closed with administrative resolutions, including several related to food establishment violations, the combination of active housing maintenance violations, environmental control board penalties, and recent safety issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at this location.
