1361 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1361 Nostrand Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently managed by Luma Realty Corporation LLC. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent violation in January 2025 documenting infestations of bedbugs, mice, and roaches in apartment 2A. Additional recent complaints include unsanitary conditions (pests) in July 2024 and various maintenance issues in March 2024 involving water leaks, cabinets, and wall conditions.

The property has multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, and a facade disrepair violation from 2022 citing multiple cracks requiring structural evaluation. There have also been safety concerns noted, including an open violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the roof and basement, and past issues with the fire escape that was previously defective but reportedly adjusted for proper operation. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, particularly with pests and various maintenance violations.

Several complaints from 2020-2022 raised concerns about building stability and egress issues, though inspections often found no violations at the time. The property has documented both illegal curb cut violations (active since 2021) and zoning compliance issues regarding a front yard obstruction. While some violations have been promptly addressed, such as the recent pest violations, there remain multiple active violations related to external inspections and facade conditions. Historical records show periodic rodent inspection failures between 2009-2012, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management in the building.
