What to Know About General Home Inspections in Flatbush
Flatbush covers two different kinds of house, and they fail differently. The city tax-lot file on NYC Open Data records about 3,600 one- to four-family and walk-up buildings in ZIP 11226, which takes in more than Flatbush itself, at a median year built of 1910: roughly 48 percent went up between 1900 and 1919 and another 11 percent before 1900, so this is older stock than the row-house label suggests. Alongside it stand detached frame houses in two districts the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated, Ditmas Park West and Beverley Square West, which the Commission dates to between 1894 and 1910. In the attached houses the work is reconciling the certificate of occupancy where a house runs as two units, party-wall plumbing and electrical split without proper sub-panels, and single-pipe steam carrying more than it was sized for. In the frame houses it is knob-and-tube remnants in turret and dormer cavities and slate roofs at the end of their service life. The scope follows the vintage.
The Flatbush Housing Stock We Know
Two-thirds of housing units in ZIP 11226 stand in buildings of twenty apartments or more, so a Flatbush purchase is often a share of a roof, a boiler and a facade. The house blocks are real too, and several of them now sit inside landmarked historic districts.
