565 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 565 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, managed by 563-565 Management LLC, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years. Most recently, in February 2023, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint that was resolved within two days, though the problem had become a pattern in previous years with similar complaints recorded in December 2018 and December 2018 affecting the entire building.

The property has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including a rodent infestation issue in 2024 (with prior inspections showing passed results), a power outage incident in July 2018, and various sanitation concerns including garbage/recycling storage problems and pest issues, though inspections generally found no violations in these cases. More concerning are two open violations regarding the annual bedbug report requirement, dating back to 2021-2024, which suggest the building's management has not been in full compliance with this important housing maintenance requirement. The building's mechanical systems have raised multiple red flags, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2021 concerning the boiler system's safety features and maintenance, carrying a penalty of $3,125.

There was also a construction-related incident in 2019 that resulted in a stop work order. Recent rodent inspections show a pattern of passing results alternating with some activity, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing no current rat activity. The building's permit history shows at least one active permit from October 2021 related to alterations.
