1042 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 1042 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, built in 1925, has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. Most concerning is an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, suggesting potential safety system maintenance lapses. The building was subject to two complaints in October 2023 regarding unauthorized work and lack of proper permits, though inspectors either found no violations or were unable to gain access to the property during investigations.

A 2022 complaint about potentially dangerous debris was also investigated but resulted in no warranted violations. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent annual filing period (2023-2024) and successful rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2018. Permit activity shows consistent attempts at maintenance and improvements, with permits issued in both 2020 and 2022 for unspecified external work (EW) under job number 340762847.

However, the pattern of inspectors being unable to gain access during two separate permit-related investigations (in both 2021 and 2023) raises questions about accessibility for necessary inspections. While there have been multiple complaints and violation investigations, it's worth noting that most inspections during this period resulted in either no violations found or access issues, though the active violation regarding the 2020 inspection remains a point of concern. The building's management is identified as 1042 Nostrand Ave LLC, and the property maintains its original two-family configuration.
