1544 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1544 Nostrand Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 2018 and owned by Abraham Posner. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest infestations, most recently documented in May 2025, when HPD issued violations for both mold and pest-related conditions. These recurring pest issues are evidenced by multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent showing rat activity in October 2024, and previous inspections from September 2024 and July 2024 also indicating pest problems.

The building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges over the past few years. In 2024, multiple violations were identified in Apartment 1B, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical issues, and pest infestations. The apartment also had several appliance-related complaints in 2024, though inspections found no violations in some cases.

The building's systems have been the subject of multiple complaints, including ventilation, plumbing, and water supply issues, with varying outcomes regarding violations. During its construction phase in 2018, the building generated multiple complaints and violations related to safety measures and site conditions, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations with penalties for issues such as inadequate housekeeping and failure to maintain pedestrian protection. Though the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug activity since 2020, with no reported infestations or eradications, the ongoing issues with pests and various maintenance concerns suggest persistent challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
