1799 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 1799 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Nacala Mitchell and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant and recurring heat and hot water system issues over the past two years. The most recent complaints from 2025, including multiple service requests in June and May, relate to heat and hot water problems, with HPD inspections often unable to gain access for verification.
Between November 2024 and March 2025, there were at least seven similar heat/hot water-related complaints, indicating an ongoing pattern of temperature-related discomfort for residents. The building currently has several open violations as of 2024-2025, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R, various maintenance issues in unit 2R (including plumbing problems), and a potential bedbug-related violation from April 2024. The property has multiple active DOB violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, suggesting neglect of critical building systems.
A July 2023 complaint regarding building shaking/vibrations could not be inspected due to access issues. Previous maintenance history shows some attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2011, 2013, and 2018 showing mixed results (initial failures followed by compliance). The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with both basic services (heat and water) and maintenance compliance, with many complaints involving difficulties in gaining access for proper inspection and resolution.
