1218 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1218 Nostrand Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit apartment building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Jennifer Asarali and classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A." The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in September 2023, including ongoing problems with the intercom system, fire escape concerns, and pest issues. During this period, HPD inspections were conducted but access was not granted to verify the reported conditions. Other notable incidents include a March 2023 complaint about construction dust affecting indoor air quality, and historical issues from 2020 involving heat/hot water and electrical power outages.

The building has a documented history of regulatory violations and complaints, particularly regarding gas systems and boiler maintenance. In 2021, there were serious concerns about unauthorized gas piping installation, which led to a $2,500 ECB violation. In 2019, multiple violations were issued for defective and improperly permitted boiler installations, with penalties totaling $3,812.

The property has maintained bedbug and rodent compliance, with the latest bedbug report (2024) showing zero infested units and passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2019. Annual bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently documented and filed. While many historical violations have been resolved and closed, the recency and frequency of 2023 complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building access for inspections.
