527 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 2-family house at 527 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jeremy Feit, has experienced some significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning plumbing systems. Most notably, there was a heavy water leak classified as an emergency in June 2025.

The property has also faced challenges with access for inspections, as demonstrated by two separate incidents in July 2023 related to plumbing maintenance issues - both times inspectors were unable to gain access on their second final attempt, one related to general maintenance and the other specifically to plumbing problems. Additionally, there was a complaint in July 2020 regarding debris or the possibility of falling materials, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. Despite these plumbing and access issues, the overall maintenance record shows some positive aspects.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. Furthermore, the property has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. While the recent water leak and previous plumbing access issues are concerning from a maintenance perspective, the absence of bedbugs and consistent rodent inspection compliance suggests that some areas of building management are being handled effectively.
