1507 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1507 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Jennifer Novelli, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 1931, with the most recent being a sewage odor complaint investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in late 2019 through January 2020, though no violations were cited following their investigation. A cluster of housing maintenance code violations was documented in January 2005, affecting the second-story apartments and primarily related to security, plumbing, and access issues, including problems with doors, hot water supply, and mailboxes.

However, all these violations were subsequently closed, with certifications of correction dating from March to April 2018. The property has maintained a generally acceptable safety record in recent years, passing rodent inspections in 2011, 2019, and most recently in January 2023.

The building's documented history shows that while there were notable maintenance issues in the mid-2000s, these were addressed and resolved, and no further housing violations have been recorded in the most recent five-year period. The most recent health-related incident (the sewage odor complaint) occurred approximately five years ago from the current date (July 2025), and it's worth noting that this was investigated but did not result in any cited violations.
