Augrented Insights Report for 1639 Nostrand Avenue

1639 Nostrand Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush, owned by Michael Luma and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with seven documented complaints between October 2024 and March 2025, some of which were classified as emergencies. A water leak issue affecting apartment 3R was identified in 2024 and remains open as of the most recent inspection.

The property has also faced maintenance challenges, with multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage storage reported in 2024, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building has several active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. Previous violations from late 2023 include concerns about defective plaster surfaces and various maintenance issues in apartment 3R.

The property underwent inspections for bedbug and rodent activity, with no bedbug infestations reported in 2023-2024 and only one instance of rat activity noted during a 2015 inspection. A 2018 complaint regarding illegal conversion could not be verified due to access issues. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, including a 2024 violation regarding fire-retardant plaster repair, the building's recurring heating system problems and multiple active violations regarding inspection filings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
