Owner of collapsed Brooklyn building is a notorious slumlord, tax deadbeat who owes $450K debt

The owner of the Brooklyn building that collapsed onto an adjacent construction site leaving eight people dead is not only a notorious slumlord — he’s also a deadbeat who owes more than $450,000 in fines, unpaid taxes and water bills, The Post has learned. Olufemi Falade — who has the dubious distinction of landing on the NYC public advocate’s annual “Worst Landlords Watchlist” six times — racked up nearly all of his debt at the three-story building at 1321 Flatbush Ave . that crumbled Wednesday. A review of city records found that he owes $170,000 in fines issued by the Department of Buildings in 2019 for improperly displayed signs. He also owes the city $114,945 in unpaid water bills accumulated over several years and $113,526 in property taxes dating to 2021. Firefighters search the rubble of a collapsed building on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn on Wednesday. James Keivom for NY Post Separately, Falade owes the Internal Revenue Service another $49,269 for unpaid personal federal income taxes, according to a 2010 lien. He also owes New York state another $4,316 in personal income taxes. The city is still trying to determine who is at fault for the building collapse. NY politicians
