609 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
609 Nostrand Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Rachel Phipps. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including a February 2024 pest complaint (the most recent documented issue), and a February 2021 complaint about mold.
The property has undergone various repairs and inspections, with notable violations including a 2024 Environmental Control Board violation regarding a detached window sill at the 4th floor, with a penalty of $12,500. While there have been multiple paint and plaster complaints, primarily affecting apartment #2, and other mechanical issues such as problems with the bell/intercom system in 2020, many of these issues were resolved without violations being issued. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems in late 2018 and multiple pest-related complaints, though recent Bedbug Reporting filings from 2019 through 2025 show zero infested or re-infested units.
The property underwent rodent control measures throughout 2025, with inspections showing initial rat activity in February and March 2025, though later inspections in August 2024 and May 2025 passed. A 2022 violation requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report was noted, and there are outstanding lighting violations from 2014 and 2017 regarding inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with pest control, sanitation, and basic building maintenance, though recent rodent control efforts appear to be addressing those particular issues.
