1720 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 45-unit, 4-story apartment building at 1720 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, including a recent emergency complaint in November 2023. The building has also faced multiple violations and maintenance issues in 2023 alone, including a problematic window frame violation and various plumbing-related complaints (toilet, bathtub/shower) documented in May 2023.
Two apartments (B6 and D6) were issued serious violations on December 2, 2023, including defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a concerning mold condition in B6's bathroom. D6 had additional violations for hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees and a door blocking access to the fire escape. The building's recent history shows a total of five bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2024, with the most recent report (December 2024) showing no current infestations.
The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2011-2019. An active violation from 2023 remains pending regarding the failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection results. Historically, the building faced compliance issues in 2018 regarding maintenance violations, resulting in fines, though these appear to have been resolved. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though there have been instances of access issues for inspectors and repeated problems with the same systems (e.g., heat/hot water).
