1170 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

At 1170 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, this three-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 has experienced persistent heating system issues since late 2024. Throughout December 2024 and continuing into January 2025, there have been eight separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, all categorized as emergencies, with HPD inspectors consistently finding that the issues had been resolved by the time of inspection.

The building's current owner, Jared White, is responsible for addressing these recurring heating system problems, which appear to be the most significant ongoing concern affecting tenant comfort. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3R, where C-class violations for rodent infestations were documented in December 2024, along with heat issues. Apartment 3L has multiple open violations from April 2024, including problems with mold, leaky faucets, electrical outlets, and a reported roach infestation.

Additional building maintenance concerns include an open violation from December 2024 regarding access to the heating system in the cellar/boiler room. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero occurrences reported in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to present, and past rodent inspections in 2011 and 2018 both passed. The property underwent several inspections related to heating system access and maintenance requirements, with some violations showing as closed, indicating active management of certain maintenance issues, though the recurring heating problems suggest a more systemic challenge.
