1116 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1116 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Mitch Kaplan, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2023 that remain open, including maintenance issues in the first-story public hall such as mold, water leaks, and various regulatory signage requirements.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple HPD service requests for slow water leaks in 2023-2024, and more recent plumbing complaints in May 2024. The property has also faced various maintenance issues including flooring problems, door repairs, and unsanitary conditions, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued. In terms of recent inspections and pest management, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, with zero infested units reported in March 2024.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2011 also resulted in a passing grade. The most recent 311 service requests in late 2024 relate to tattooing complaints, which were addressed by the NYC Health Department but appear unrelated to typical building maintenance concerns. Apart from the ongoing DOB violation regarding annual inspection filings, there are no recent major safety concerns on record, though the building's age and history of water-related issues suggest continued monitoring of maintenance conditions would be prudent.
