1633 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1633 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Nostrand Holding Group LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues and safety concerns since 2018. Most notably, there is an ongoing heat and hot water issue reported in February 2025, which HPD was unable to inspect.

The building has also faced multiple emergencies in recent months, including heat/hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), and safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, all of which were subsequently addressed but indicate potential ongoing maintenance challenges. A significant cluster of complaints in August 2024 revealed various issues including mold (open complaint), water leaks (one open complaint), flooring problems, and pest-related concerns, some of which resulted in violations. The property has several open violations from 2024-2025, including maintenance issues with fire-retardant plaster, ceiling paint, and various apartment-specific problems such as defective light fixtures, smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, and pest infestations.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent pest management efforts, particularly in 2018-2019 when multiple rodent inspections were conducted with bait application. Of particular concern is a series of active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, suggesting potential boiler safety compliance issues. While the building's recent bedbug history shows no reported infestations between 2020-2022, the frequency and types of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety.
