1634 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This three-story, two-family residential building at 1634 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Lot 1634 LLC, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety incidents over the past five years. In late 2018, the building faced multiple security-related issues when both the door/window and intercom systems required attention, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More critically, in February 2019, violations were issued regarding illegal double-cylinder locks on fire escape doors in both apartments, representing a serious safety concern.

The building underwent scrutiny from the Department of Buildings (DOB) M.A.R.C.H. program in 2019, with violations recorded for work done without permits, specifically regarding a wood frame structure with fiberglass panels and electric lighting in the rear yard. These violations led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations throughout 2020, though records indicate these were ultimately resolved with no penalties due.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record in recent years with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, as evidenced by three consecutive annual reports showing zero infested units. A rodent inspection conducted in May 2019 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no current pest issues. The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 again shows zero infestations, suggesting improved overall building maintenance and pest control practices. While the building does have some open violations from 2019 regarding fire escape locks and intercom systems, these appear to be historical issues from a maintenance perspective, and there have been no similar security or safety concerns reported in recent years.
