776 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-family house at 776 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jonah Neuman, has experienced several significant maintenance and health issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, including a documented complaint in March 2023 that required HPD intervention. The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections throughout 2023-2024 showing rat activity, including a failed compliance inspection in May 2024.

The property has a history of various maintenance violations dating back to 2010-2011, including problems with the roof, leaks, and pest infestations in multiple apartments. While records show these violations were certified as corrected in 2022, they point to a pattern of maintenance challenges. The building's conditions have prompted multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations over the years, though more recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate the building has not experienced this specific infestation problem.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing continued rat activity as of July 2024, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges. The building's maintenance history reveals past issues with plumbing, including leaky faucets, and various structural concerns such as damaged walls and floors in Apartment 1. While some improvements were documented in 2022 with a number of violations being certified as corrected, the recurring nature of heating and rodent issues indicates that maintenance concerns have persisted into recent years. The most recent heat and hot water complaint from March 2023, while reportedly resolved, suggests basic utility systems continue to require attention.
