Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 7-story, 22-unit residential building at Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Solomon Schwimmer, was completed in 2022 and has experienced several maintenance issues since occupancy. Most notably, there have been recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests recorded between July 2024 and April 2025, though inspections did not always find violations.

There were also building-wide maintenance concerns in early 2025, including flooring issues (violations issued) and heat/hot water concerns, along with a DOHMH complaint about unsanitary animal conditions that inspectors could not access. Looking at the building's history, several significant events occurred during the construction and initial occupancy phase between 2020 and 2022. Multiple safety-related violations were recorded at the construction site in early 2021, including failures to maintain proper safety equipment, provide safe access from excavation areas, and maintain construction force requirements, though these were all resolved with varying penalties.

During inspection periods, the building has generally passed rodent inspections (most recently in April 2025) and has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations from 2021 to 2024. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD and DOHMH intervention, most complaints have been resolved through inspections, with violations requiring correction primarily related to flooring conditions. Recent complaints in 2025 suggest continuing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning building systems and cleanliness.
