1206 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 1206 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Ramon Abreu and built in 1910, has experienced recurring sanitary and maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in September 2023, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development issued violations related to unsanitary garbage storage conditions in the building's west court area, which are currently open.

The property has a concerning pattern of rodent-related complaints, with multiple reports to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene from 2021 through 2023, and inspections showing periods of rat activity. While some rodent inspections in 2023 showed passing results, the building's history includes several instances of pest-related complaints. The building also has several active violations regarding failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, as evidenced by multiple citations issued in 2023 that remain unresolved.

These violations suggest potential safety concerns related to the building's pressure systems. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2022), the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with waste management and pest control. The most recent department inspections have shown some compliance improvements, with passed inspections noted in late 2023, but the persistence of open violations and historical patterns of maintenance issues suggest continued attention may be required to ensure proper building conditions.
