1788 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 1788 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Damilola Akinola and constructed in 1936, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint in February 2025 affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification.
The building has a concerning pattern of unresolved maintenance violations, with six active violations from 2018-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, and multiple unfiled external low pressure inspections between 2018-2023. Historical issues include a 2021 violation for a defective fire escape tread, and several 2018 violations related to specific apartments (2F and 3R) involving sanitation, plumbing, and safety concerns such as roaches, window guards, and bathroom fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows persistent hygiene and safety concerns, with multiple pest-related violations and complaints documented.
Inspections between 2018 and 2022 revealed various problems, including a 2018 violation for encumbered public hall space on the third story, and rodent inspections showing inconsistent results between 2010 and 2018. The property has multiple open violations as of 2025, including issues with heating systems, safety equipment, and pest control compliance. The pattern of unfiled inspection reports, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements and external low pressure inspections, suggests inadequate attention to required safety protocols.
