1283 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
This 6-unit, 4-story building, located at 1283 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and built in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular clusters of problems between 2022-2024. The most pressing concerns have been related to heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between late 2022 and early 2024, though inspections typically found these issues resolved. More recently, in 2024, there were significant water-related problems, including heavy leaks and sewage conditions, with at least one violation issued in May 2024 specifically regarding a water leak affecting the ceiling in apartment 1L.
The building has also faced various code compliance issues, including several violations in 2024 related to safety signage, fire escape access, and building maintenance requirements, though these were certified as corrected by March 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing evidence of rat presence in 2022, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. Between 2019-2020, there were multiple complaints about illegal after-hours work and construction safety concerns, leading to three Environmental Control Board violations related to construction document compliance and tenant protection plans, though these matters were resolved.
More recently, as of 2023, there are two active Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2018 and 2019. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and heating system issues, particularly in winter months, and some concerns about the adequacy of building inspections and safety compliance measures. The property owner, Jacob Leifer, has managed the building through various management entities, including previous involvement from "SUPERB PROPERTY MGMT." The building has received multiple permits for various maintenance and improvement work between 2019-2020, indicating ongoing efforts to address building systems and maintenance needs, though the recurrence of similar complaints suggests persistent infrastructure challenges. While recent bedbug reports show the building is currently free of this particular pest, the pattern of plumbing, water, and heating issues suggests continuing maintenance challenges are likely to be a factor in resident experience.
