Multi-Family Home Inspection in East Flatbush, NY

What We Typically Find on Multi-Family Home Inspection in East Flatbush

East Flatbush's multi-family stock is a mix of 1920-1960 attached brick and semi-attached two- and three-families. The recurring multi-family findings here: original galvanized water supply lines restricting flow when multiple units run simultaneously, undersized electrical services upgraded piecemeal (one 100-amp main feeding sub-panels with no fire-rated separation between unit feeds), aged steam boilers with single-pipe distribution still serving all units, and shared roof-drainage where one unit's clogged leader becomes the other unit's basement leak. Many homes have been informally converted from two-family to three-family over time — we verify the C of O against observed kitchens and baths.
