621 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 7-unit tenement building at 621 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Eden Ashourzadeh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring water leak problems, with the most recent complaints in 2025 and late 2024, both involving damp spots. The building has also faced persistent pest-related challenges, with multiple complaints about rodent infestations and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting apartment 4R, which has been the subject of several HPD violations related to lead paint hazards, plaster issues, and mouse infestation.

Heating and hot water problems have been documented, with complaints in late 2022 and early 2023, though inspections indicated these issues were resolved. Inspection records reveal ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open carbon monoxide detector violation as of October 2024, and various building code violations from June 2024 related to lead paint, window guards, and roof leaks. The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts in 2025, with several bait applications recorded between December 2024 and April 2025.

While there have been periodic bedbug incidents, recent reports indicate containment or eradication of these pests. Historical records show a gas utility referral complaint from 2018, though access issues prevented inspection. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and pest control, though recent months have seen increased attention to rodent control measures.
