2088 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The three-story, two-family house at 2088 Flatbush Avenue in Marine Park, owned by Abraham Sasson and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent problems, with inspections in late 2024 confirming rat activity on the property despite previous Department of Health and Mental Hygiene interventions in November 2024 that identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building's mechanical systems have also presented challenges, particularly in 2022 when a defective boiler was documented, resulting in multiple violations related to its installation and safety features. These violations included improper drain sizing and incorrect piping for safety valve discharge, though the penalty of $310 was reported as resolved.

A heat and hot water complaint from October 2020 was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being found. While the property has received multiple plumbing-related permits between 2019 and 2022, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or improvements, the recurring nature of both rodent and mechanical issues indicates persistent building system challenges. Notably, the building has shown no bedbug infestation reports in recent years, with the most recent filing period (2023-2024) indicating zero affected units.
