613 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

613 Nostrand Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mohamed Saad. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly between April and June 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both entire-building and apartment-specific problems. The building's maintenance history shows several areas of concern, including work needed on the electric/gas range appliances, flooring/stairs, and garbage/recycling storage areas.

Notably, there are three active Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports. The building's external systems appear to be neglected, with multiple active Department of Buildings violations (as of June 2023) related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, and a previously issued violation from 2019 regarding boiler inspection. Recent rodent inspections show a mixed pattern of results, with rat activity recorded in early 2023 and early 2024, though the last inspection in February 2025 passed.

The building has also had some hardware issues requiring attention, as evidenced by violations concerning broken window hardware and a gas leak notice posted in 2019. While many complaints have been investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and determined not to violate housing laws, there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. These included complaints about heat/hot water systems and flooring conditions in April 2024. The property's condition appears to require ongoing attention, particularly regarding systemic issues like heating, plumbing, and pest control.
