1048 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1048 Nostrand Avenue is a three-story, two-family house built in 1925 in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, currently owned by Tansy Cheung. The property has experienced recurring pest issues over several years, with four documented complaints between 2018 and 2020, including confirmed infestations of mice and roaches in January 2020 in the 3rd-floor north apartment (3RDFLO).

Despite multiple inspection attempts, some pest complaints in 2018 and 2019 were closed without access being granted to inspectors. The building also faced some safety concerns, including a November 2018 heating system issue affecting the entire building (though no violations were found upon inspection), and a violation related to a broken kitchen window spring balance in 3RDFLO. Of particular note is a November 2018 violation regarding a missing carbon monoxide detector in 3RDFL (3rd-floor south apartment), which raises safety concerns.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2011 and 2019, with the last two inspections (December 2018 and January 2019) showing rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2011 and 2012 had passed. As of the most recent data available in October 2023, several violations remain open from the January 2020 inspection related to pest infestations and window repairs in 3RDFLO, though there is limited information about the current status of these issues. While the building has faced these persistent maintenance challenges, it's important to note that many complaints have been addressed through inspections, with varying degrees of resolution.
