1240 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The two-unit, two-story residential building at 1240 Nostrand Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Edy Jean, has a notable history of maintenance and safety issues since its 1920 construction. Most concerning are the recent open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
The property experienced a significant structural complaint in May 2023 regarding building shaking and stability concerns, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation citing facade disrepair including damaged bricks, cracks, and issues with the parapet wall, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed and remains active. The building's maintenance record also reveals a historical rodent infestation problem, with four documented instances of rat activity in March-October 2011, indicating a past pest control challenge.
While the rodent issues appear to have been resolved since these 2011 inspections, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations and recent facade concerns suggest continuing maintenance challenges. The building was classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating a prior conversion to multiple dwellings status, though the current legal designation is for two units.
