1208 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 4-story, 7-unit residential building at 1208 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ink 1208 Nostrand LLC, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with HPD confirming restoration of service during their investigations. The building has a documented pattern of heating system problems, with seven similar heat/hot water complaints filed in December 2022 alone, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems.
The property experienced a significant fire incident in June 2023, resulting in damage to multiple apartments (2L, 3L, and 4R) and various building infrastructure issues. Following this incident, several Class C violations were issued requiring attention to fire damage, window repairs, door functioning, and other building maintenance issues. The building owner received penalties for failure to post the required boiler room notice in December 2022, though this violation was later resolved.
More recent inspections in 2024 showed the building passed rodent inspections, though there was one failed inspection noted in 2019. The building's heating system remains a notable concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2025. While there have been two documented bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2022, the most recent reports from 2022-2025 show no current infestations.
