1487 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1487 Nostrand Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by 1487 Nostrand Realty LLC. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between April 2 and May 16, 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved with correction confirmations, violations were issued in certain cases, particularly between April 28 and April 30, 2025. Additional concerns emerged in May 2025 with a mold complaint that was investigated but did not result in identified housing law violations.

The building has a history of various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and housing maintenance code violations. Notable concerns from 2024 included hot water problems in apartments 1B and 6H, and access issues to the heating system in the basement boiler room. 2023-2024 inspections revealed two bedbug incidents (in 2024) and several rodent control efforts, with bait application recorded multiple times in early 2023. The building's infrastructure experienced several mechanical and safety-related complaints between 2019 and 2023, including elevator issues, boiler problems, and electrical concerns, with violations served through the Environmental Control Board regarding elevator maintenance and electrical wiring in 2021.

Two active violations related to energy benchmarking reporting requirements from 2019 remain unresolved as of the latest review, and there was a failed Category 5 inspection documented in 2019. The property has undergone various inspections and received citations for multiple safety and maintenance concerns, including issues with self-closing doors, heating systems, and general building access requirements. While many violations have been resolved and closed, some persistent issues such as the energy benchmarking violations and elevator maintenance concerns indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures in most recent inspections, though some initial rodent activity was noted in early 2023.
