373 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 373 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Robyn Lucas, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly between October and December 2023. The property, constructed in 1931, has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in October 2023, including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues. Investigations resulted in several violations, though HPD inspections did not always result in citations.

More concerning are the recent violations noted in December 2023 in Apartment 1, which include issues with mold (upgraded to Class B), water leaks, roach infestation, problems with radiator shutoff valves, electrical outlet concerns, and a non-compliant smoke detector. The building has also experienced rodent activity, with inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in 2023-2024, though recent March 2025 inspections passed for compliance. Prior to these issues, the building had some infrastructure concerns in mid-2023, including ventilation system problems and water leaks reported in June 2023.

While there have been bedbug reports, indicating one infested unit in 2021-2022, more recent filings (2022-2024) show zero infested or eradicated units. Two building stability complaints were recorded in July-August 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property. The building's compliance history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water systems and pest control, though some violations have been addressed through inspections and repairs. As of July 2025, the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 indicates improved conditions, having passed for compliance.
