1654 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 1654 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Margaret Francois and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various building systems, including ventilation, electrical outlets, plumbing, and sanitation, with violations specifically noted for bathtub/shower issues. A cluster of 311 service requests was generated on August 14, 2024, relating to problems with doors, windows, cabinets, and general ventilation systems.
Emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints from the same period raised concerns about sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flooring, and various unsanitary conditions including pests and mold. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with recent Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in August 2024 concerning the need for proper postings and notices related to building safety systems. These included requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notifications, as well as a completed certificate of inspection posting.
The basement apartment has specific plumbing issues documented, including problems with bathtub fixtures and kitchen sink faucets. Historical records show a pattern of rodent activity in 2012 and 2014, though more recent inspections from 2021 and 2024 show no bedbug infestations or reports of rodent problems. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in August 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access for investigation. While the building's violations have been marked as "Closed" with certifications in September 2024, the concentration of issues reported in August 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns within the building.
