317 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 3-unit brownstone located at 317 Nostrand Avenue, built in 1931 and currently owned by Menahem Chukroon, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest problems, with two separate complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2022 and 2023, including an emergency complaint in August 2023 that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including water leaks (notably in 2022 and 2020), heating issues (a 2019 building-wide complaint and a 2021 apartment-specific issue), and various maintenance concerns such as problems with the bell/intercom system, door issues, and radiator problems - all of which were resolved as verified by HPD in December 2022. Recent developments include an active illegal conversion complaint from October 2024 that HPD was unable to investigate on the first attempt, and the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in April 2025.

While the building's bedbug reporting from 2023-2025 shows no instances of infestation, there have been multiple rodent activity reports, with recurring rat activity noted in compliance inspections throughout 2024, and a failed compliance inspection for other reasons in late 2022. The property also had one Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this was subsequently closed. The building's management has generally addressed most maintenance issues when given access, with the exception of multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and heating problems where access could not be gained for inspection.
