1279 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1279 Nostrand Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1931, is located in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood and is currently owned by Heskel Aini. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, particularly during late 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed about both building-wide and apartment-specific deficiencies, though most were resolved through HPD inspections.

The building's heating system appears to have had persistent maintenance challenges, with violations regarding inadequate heat supply and equipment access noted in various inspection reports. More recently, in November 2023, a food establishment toilet facility complaint was resolved by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Significantly, the building has several active violations related to gas system concerns dating back to 2018, with the Environmental Control Board issuing penalties totaling $8,750 (including active penalties of $1,250, $2,500, and $5,000) for issues regarding unauthorized gas piping fittings and system modifications.

There are also multiple Department of Buildings violations from 2023 regarding failure to file required annual low-pressure inspections from 2018 to 2021, and a 2019 violation for not certifying corrections of immediately hazardous conditions. The building's safety systems have undergone some scrutiny, with various violations recorded between 2018-2019 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, heating systems, and gas supply issues, though many of these were subsequently resolved. The property has shown compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, passing inspections in 2020 and 2018, while maintaining a bedbug-free status as of the 2020-2021 reporting period, with no infestations or re-infestations reported.
