1316 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 1316 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Yechiel Weinberger, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly affecting resident comfort and safety. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with documented problems between 2020 and 2025, including several instances where inspections couldn't be conducted due to access issues or where heat and hot water had reportedly been restored before inspection.

The building has also faced recent challenges with unsanitary conditions, specifically involving pests, with complaints filed in early 2025 that were investigated but not found to violate housing laws. As of December 2023, multiple open violations were documented for Apartment 2B, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, pest infestation, electrical wiring, window mechanics, and interior paint condition.

The building's maintenance record shows several missed mandatory inspections, as evidenced by active violations for failing to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2018-2023. While the property has had bedbug inspections in recent years (most recently in 2025) showing no infested units, and rodent bait applications were documented in 2016-2017, the ongoing nature of heat/hot water issues and recent pest complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it has relatively higher maintenance requirements compared to newer constructions, and the pattern of complaints suggests retention of heat/hot water and pest control remain persistent issues, while safety-related violations in 2023 point to infrastructure maintenance concerns.
