325 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 325 Nostrand Avenue, owned by Mendel Gold, has experienced significant heating and hot water system issues in recent months, particularly between January 2-15, 2025, when there were multiple complaints from both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these complaints were found not to violate housing laws, several resulted in HPD violations requiring the owner to make corrections.

The building also has two open violations from 2021 regarding fire escape safety, specifically related to a defective dropladder shoe and an obstructing air conditioner. Historical records show consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with no recorded infestations in the past five years, and recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have all passed, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in November 2019. The property has been subject to regular inspections and oversight, with a notable focus on heat and hot water system maintenance, as evidenced by the recent emergency complaints and violations.

Previous years show various maintenance issues being addressed, including a bathroom door saddle repair in 2024 and recurring requirements to file annual bedbug reports. An illegal conversion complaint from 2020 was notably marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during inspection attempts. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent control regulations in recent years, the persistence of heating system complaints in early 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance.
