1199 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 1199 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by 1199 Nostrand LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years. Between 2020 and 2024, there were five documented complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent incident occurring in September 2024. Additionally, the building has faced pest control challenges, with two separate complaints in 2022 regarding rodent issues in apartment 2F, which prompted violations for both infestation and missing carbon monoxide detectors in that unit.

A notable safety concern emerged in September 2023 when an inspection revealed leaky and defective bathroom faucets in apartment 3R, resulting in an open violation as of the latest available data. The property currently has two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019. While there was a mention of a Certificate of Occupancy complaint in early 2022, the inspector was unable to gain access for verification.

Historical data shows that the building successfully passed rodent inspections in both 2010 and 2011. Recent permit activity includes three issued permits between 2018 and 2022, with the most recent from November 2022. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of heating system problems, with several complaints filed during winter months, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued, suggesting these may have been temporary issues.
