3842 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family residential building at 3842 Flatlands Avenue in Marine Park, owned by Shaul Ashkenazi, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2024, there were multiple service requests related to door and electrical problems, with at least two violations issued regarding door frame issues and a power outage.

A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in June 2023, primarily focused on the second floor and including issues with doors, plumbing, electrical systems, and various maintenance concerns such as flooring, walls, and pest problems, though these earlier complaints did not result in violations. The building has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations since 2024, including issues with the entrance door lock, electrical outlets, and documentation requirements. Notably, there are four active Department of Buildings violations (as of September 2024) regarding the failure to file mandatory External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2020-2023.

The second-floor unit (2R) has multiple opened violations from April 2024, including problems with the electrical outlet, door lock, smoke detector, flooring, and pest infestation. While there was a bedbug reporting period from 2019-2020, it showed no infestation cases. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and safety equipment, particularly affecting the second-floor unit, though many of the earlier complaints were resolved without violations.
