402 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

402 Nostrand Avenue is a 6-unit, 4-story residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Lynette Gill. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building.

A notable set of violations was documented in June 2023, when multiple apartments (2L, 3L, 3R, 4L, and 4R) were found to have lockable doors leading to fire escapes, violating fire safety regulations. The building faced several electrical safety concerns in 2021-2022, including multiple complaints about defective/exposed wiring, with some resulting in Oath Violations. Significant building maintenance concerns have emerged over the years, including an active violation from March 2022 regarding a disrepair issue with the fire escape drop-down ladder.

The property has multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to electrical and fire safety systems, with substantial fines totaling over $25,000. More recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown improvements in pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations for several periods, though there were issues with rodent activity noted in 2021-2022 that seemed to have been addressed in subsequent inspections. The building has undergone various inspections and service requests, with most issues being resolved through agency intervention, though there have been instances where access for inspection was not granted, particularly during heat/hot water complaints.
