629 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-unit building at 629 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Anne Kim and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water availability, with eight documented complaints between 2022-2023, though some were resolved promptly and others ended without inspection due to access issues. The building faced multiple sanitary challenges in 2022, including issues with mold and pests, with HPD citing violations for the latter in September 2022.

There were also instances of electrical power outages and water supply problems recorded in July 2022, though these were resolved without violations. Recent regulatory scrutiny has focused on the building's failure to complete required external low pressure inspections, with multiple active violations issued between 2018-2023. However, all recent inspections for bedbugs have reported no infestations, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted in 2022-2025.

Several safety violations were identified during a September 2022 inspection, including issues with the fire escape, self-closing doors, and various required notices in the public areas, though most of these violations were subsequently closed following correction notices. The building's recent history demonstrates ongoing challenges with basic utilities and maintenance, particularly regarding heating systems, though many issues have been addressed through standard regulatory processes. The property has maintained a generally stable environment regarding pests and rodents, with no recent reports of bedbug infestations. The current open violations related to low pressure inspections represent the most significant outstanding regulatory issues as of 2025.
