180 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

180 Nostrand Avenue is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Chany Rolnitsky and constructed in 1901. The building's most significant and recurring issue has been rodent infestation, with multiple complaints and inspection results between 2019 and 2024.

The most recent inspections in 2023 (compliance) and 2024 (initial) passed, suggesting recent improvements in pest control, though there were previous instances of rat activity in 2022 and 2021. The property underwent a series of notable repairs and improvements in 2020, following a July inspection that revealed several violations requiring attention, including a broken bathroom wash basin in the first-floor apartment, defective fire egress, unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar, a hole in the cellar concrete, an uncapped sewer pipe in the cellar, and various fire escape obstructions.

These violations, classified as either Class B or Class C, were all certified as corrected between late July and August 2020, along with the replacement of missing carbon monoxide detectors in the second-floor apartment and repair of broken wood shingles at the west exterior wall. An additional complaints history includes a DOH complaint in 2019 regarding rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though most were closed due to prior complaints. A Department of Buildings complaint from January 2020 regarding an unpermitted work was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt.
