404 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 8-unit, 4-story brick tenement building at 404 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Phillip Miller and built in 1910, has experienced recurring pest control challenges and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, between late 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple documented instances of rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025-2024 confirming continued rodent presence despite repeated bait application and compliance efforts. The building has also faced significant sanitary concerns, particularly in late 2022, with multiple complaints regarding sewage issues and unsanitary conditions, though inspections found no violations in some cases.
Apartment 1 has been the focus of several housing maintenance code violations, including problems with ventilation, pest infestation (roaches and rodents), and infrastructure issues such as a defective self-closing door. The property has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including ventilation system problems (violations issued), heating system access issues, and various plumbing and drainage matters. In 2020, there were violations related to facade maintenance and drainage problems.
More recent building inspections (2023-2025) have continued to reveal rat activity, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. While the building has filed regular bedbug reports showing zero infestation cases between 2019-2025, the persistent rodent issues have been more problematic. The property has generally addressed violations when identified, as evidenced by many being marked as "Closed," though some persistent issues indicate ongoing maintenance requirements.
