206 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, three-unit building at 206 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lazar Mauskopf, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water outages reported between 2021 and 2022, with at least four confirmed complaints requiring HPD intervention. In 2021, the building experienced significant electrical system problems, including three documented power outages.

Additional concerns were raised regarding unsanitary conditions, with reports of mold (August 2021) and pests (March 2021). The building has also faced various maintenance compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple violations found during inspections between 2021 and 2024, including requirements related to self-closing doors (C violations), laundry room maintenance (B violation regarding fire retardant material), and bedbug reporting (A violations). Most recently, the building's 2024 bedbug report showed no infestations during the 2022-2023 period, and the February 2025 rodent inspection result was passed, though there were documented rat activity issues in 2024.

The property continues to have some open violations from 2021 related to building signage and laundry room conditions. While the HPD has consistently responded to complaints and conducted inspections, many issues have required multiple reports before resolution, and several compliance issues remain in various stages of resolution. The building, constructed in 1910 and classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has maintained its status as a three-unit residential property throughout these documented events.
