1794 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1794 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Abraham Avikasis and constructed in 1936, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, though recent reports show significant improvements. The most serious recent incident occurred in March 2019 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water failures, though these were reportedly resolved quickly following a HPD intervention. Notably, the building faced multiple violations in September 2019 regarding fire safety and emergency egress, including defective fire escapes, encumbered fire escape routes due to air conditioners and wires, and issues with a roof bulkhead door security device.

These violations were all certified as corrected by October 2019. In the past couple of years, the building has maintained better compliance with housing regulations. Annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 consistently show zero infested units, and recent inspections indicate that the bedbug reporting requirement itself has been properly documented without any noted infestations.

Rodent inspections from 2011 and 2018 both passed without issues. The most recent housing maintenance code violations appear to have been resolved, with no open violations currently on record as of July 2025. The building's management has demonstrated recent compliance with both bedbug reporting requirements and timely resolution of maintenance issues, though its history indicates periodic challenges with heating systems and fire safety compliance.
