1684 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 1684 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Barbara Williams and constructed in 1910, has demonstrated a concerning pattern of insect and rodent-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, while the building has maintained a 100% record of successfully addressing bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five filing periods (2021-2025), there have been persistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though these were ultimately resolved by April 2024.

The property experienced a significant rodent problem in January 2020, when the Department of Health confirmed rat activity, and while subsequent inspections in 2018 and 2014 showed no rodent activity, there was another instance of rat activity recorded in August 2014. The building has also faced one documented appliance-related issue in October 2019 regarding an electric/gas range, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has a generally positive record when it comes to maintaining basic safety and habitability standards, with no recent major violations or safety hazards on record.

The most recent inspection in April 2024 found no active violations. While there have been periodic issues requiring attention, the owner has generally addressed these matters relatively promptly when identified. The property's current status as of July 2025 shows no active violations or ongoing maintenance concerns, suggesting that the most pressing historical issues have been resolved through proper channels and reporting mechanisms.
