790 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

Located in Crown Heights, 790 Nostrand Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jacob Aini. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over several years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing both bait applications and confirmed rat activity.

The building has had multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) rodent complaints, including three reports in 2018 and another in 2022, with the 2022 complaint resulting in identified violations that required follow-up inspections. Significant safety and maintenance concerns were documented in early 2022, including emergency issues related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, fire escape access, and various plumbing problems. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of 2024, primarily related to fire escape access and safety equipment.

These include concerns about lockable doors leading to fire escape windows in apartments 2A, 2B, and 3F, as well as a notable carbon monoxide detector violation in apartment 2A. While the building has filed bedbug reports annually from 2021 through 2024, all reports indicate zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property has undergone regular rodent control measures in recent years, with inspections and bait applications continuing into 2024, though the presence of rat activity in multiple inspections raises ongoing concerns about pest management stability.
