1359 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1359 Nostrand Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Solomon Schwimmer. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with notable problems related to sanitation and building entry points. In early 2020, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage, and on January 9, 2020, the building faced a heat/hot water emergency complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has also had consistent issues with its entrance doors, requiring multiple violations and inspections between late 2019 and early 2020 to address missing glass panes and defective self-closing mechanisms at both the front entrance and vestibule. More recent history shows some positive developments, particularly regarding pest control. The building has maintained a clean record in the past three annual bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024, with no reported infestations. The property's current permit status appears active, with permits issued in 2022 and 2023 for work classified as EW and PL.

The building underwent rodent control efforts in 2017, with multiple bait applications, though earlier inspections in 2011 showed passed results. A series of complaints regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling was reported in 2022, but inspections on each occasion found no violations. The property has shown some pattern of violations related to garbage management and entryway maintenance, though most historical violations have been resolved. The building's management has generally complied with inspection requirements, though access issues have occasionally hindered investigations of specific complaints.
