1169 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 1169 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Elliot Frankel, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past eight years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between 2018-2021. The building has faced recurring electrical and pest-related issues, including multiple reports of lighting problems (with violations issued in 2019) and a pest infestation in Apartment 2B (December 2018) that required correction. During 2021, notable violations were documented in Apartment 2, including broken doors, defective flooring, and wall issues, all of which were certified as corrected by April 2021.

Earlier complaints from 2018-2019 addressed various maintenance matters including wall paint, door, and window problems, with some violations issued and others resolved without penalties. More recently, the building has been free of reported pest infestations, with bedbug reports for 2022-2024 showing no affected units. However, there is currently an active violation (issued June 2023) regarding the failure to file a required low-pressure inspection from 2018, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The property underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in January 2019 regarding an illegal conversion complaint, but no violations were found at that time. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic neglect of basic upkeep, particularly during the 2018-2021 period, though recent records indicate improved conditions with no reported infestations in the past two years. A rodent inspection conducted in October 2011 resulted in a passing grade, and regular bedbug inspections over the past three years have shown no infestations.
