Small East Flatbush walk-up carrying 17 open housing-code violations and a pattern of unfiled administrative registrations.
A six-unit East Flatbush walk-up built in 1920 with officer Esther Rubin listed on ownership filings. In a building this size, concentrated issues in single apartments heavy up the official record, while basic administrative filings get repeatedly bypassed. Three things to know:
Maintenance friction concentrates heavily in a single ground-floor apartment. The building carries 17 open violations, including four Class C immediately hazardous citations. Apartment 1R drives most of this history: open filings from July 15, 2026 cite extensive ceiling mold over 10 square feet, roach infestations, leaky bathtub faucets, and broken plaster.
Administrative filings repeatedly fall off the schedule. Violations were issued repeatedly in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for failing to file a valid property registration statement. Annual bedbug reports were also cited as missing in recent years, leaving basic operational paperwork uncertified.
