1126 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-unit family house at 1126 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Mirko Levasseur and constructed in 1930, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past two years that could impact resident comfort and safety. Most notably, from March to June 2024, there were significant problems with water leaks, including incidents of heavy flow and slow leaks, along with multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting one or more apartments.

During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) faced challenges accessing apartments for necessary inspections, which is concerning given the nature of the reported issues. The building's maintenance record also highlights several safety concerns in March 2024, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as ventilation system issues - all of which were classified as emergencies.

More recently, in January 2025, there was a power outage incident that HPD attempted to investigate but could not complete the inspection. While all complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly during the spring of 2024, suggests potential ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
