1789 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, one-unit building at 1789 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush was built in 1933 and is currently owned by Lucas Brunet. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable events occurring in September 2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, ceiling problems, and pest infestations. While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were conducted and no violations were issued, these complaints represent ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building currently has multiple open violations related to safety requirements, including missing notifications about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, as well as issues with bedbug reporting requirements. Between 2020 and 2022, there was a series of emergency complaints regarding plumbing and electrical systems, including radiator and lighting problems. The property also has an active environmental control board violation from January 2022 related to failure to comply with commissioner's orders, carrying a penalty balance of $2,500. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved compliance issues and repeated violations.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple electrical wiring violations documented, with the Department of Buildings issuing summonses that resulted in penalties ranging from $4,000 to $12,500 for various code violations. While some of these violations were later resolved, others remain active, indicating ongoing compliance challenges. The property underwent routine rodent inspections in 2011 and 2018, both of which passed, though this apparently does not correlate with recent pest-related complaints. The current open violations and ongoing maintenance issues suggest a need for improved regulatory compliance and building upkeep, as evidenced by the various safety notification requirements and the need for proper certification of previous violations.
