276 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 6-story, 42-unit residential building at 276 Nostrand Avenue, owned by Judy Gottlieb, has experienced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1970, with the most recent issues clustering around pest control and structural concerns. Most notably, in mid-2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests that could not be verified due to lack of access during inspections. In late 2024, a significant structural issue was documented when the soffit of the balcony from the 4th floor apartment 4J collapsed into the 3rd floor balcony, resulting in a $6,250 penalty for failure to maintain the building.

The building has a history of various maintenance issues including mold (2024), intercom system problems (2023), window pane issues (2022), and heat/hot water access concerns (2021). Multiple violations remain active regarding energy benchmarking and efficiency requirements, dating from 2021 to 2023. The building's recent maintenance history shows some improvement in pest management, with clean rodent inspection results in 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in mid-2024.

The property has maintained a zero-infestation record for bedbugs in its annual reporting from 2020 through 2024. Prior inspections have shown varying compliance with building maintenance codes, including a 2022 violation regarding broken window panes in apartment 3B. Post-2020, the building has experienced recurring issues with accessing units for inspections, as evidenced by multiple complaints in various years where inspectors were unable to gain entry. While the building has passed several recent inspections for rodent activity, the persistence of certain violations, particularly regarding energy reporting requirements, suggests ongoing administrative oversights in building management practices.
