1210 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 1210 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Saleh Ahmed and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in June 2023, the building faced multiple urgent problems including door-related issues and concerns about a broken/missing window guard, which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During the same period, two Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints were filed, one regarding an illegal conversion and another concerning a defective boiler; both were documented as Oath Violations. The building's safety compliance record shows some areas of concern, with active violations related to failure to file required inspection reports for both external low pressure systems (2023) and an annual boiler inspection (2017), indicating potential ongoing maintenance oversight. Historical issues include a power outage in September 2022 that warranted immediate emergency attention but resulted in no violations, and a window frame issue from November 2019, though inspectors were unable to access the property to verify the condition at that time.

The property has a documented history of door and window-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about these features being reported and addressed over the years. The most recent inspections have shown some compliance issues that may impact resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding the window guard situation in 2023. While some past complaints, like the 2019 window frame issue and the 2022 power outage, were resolved without violations being recorded, the most pressing concerns appear to be the recent safety infrastructure problems and the active violations related to inspection report filings that remain unresolved as of September 2024.
