389 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-family house at 389 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shimon Sabah, has been standing since 1899. The building's recent history shows several important maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding inspection requirements.

Between June 2023 and August 2023, the Department of Buildings issued four violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020, as well as for the 2017 boiler inspection. These violations were subsequently dismissed. More recently, in April 2025, there was a complaint regarding illegal work/permit issues, though inspectors were unable to locate sufficient information for further action.

The property has maintained a generally good record in terms of building inspections, with regular passing results on rodent inspections conducted annually from 2019 through early 2025, showing consistent compliance with health standards. Bedbug reports from 2019 to 2023 indicate minimal issues, with only one reported case in 2020 and none since then. The building has had three permits issued in the past three years (2022-2023), including plumbing-related work in 2022 and October 2023, and an electrical work permit in May 2023, suggesting active maintenance and improvement efforts by the current ownership.
