1814 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

1814 Nostrand Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit building located in East Flatbush, constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Leora Aharony. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2023 with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and November, some of which resulted in inspections where access was not granted. Additionally, there have been persistent problems with water leaks, including heavy flow incidents in March and December 2023, and complications in Apartment 2R involving mold (May 2023) and various maintenance issues.

The building currently has several open violations from a June 2023 inspection of Apartment 2R, including problems with plumbing, electrical systems, and plastered surfaces. These violations encompass issues with water leaks, light fixtures, and wall finishes requiring repair or replacement. The property’s compliance history indicates some concerning patterns, including two active violations regarding the failure to file annual boiler inspections (for 2017 and 2023) and an open bedbug reporting violation from 2024.

While a bedbug report filed in 2024 shows zero units infested between November 2022 and October 2023, the building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure. The Department of Buildings records show a significant ECB violation from December 2021 relating to unpermitted work on a business awning, for which a $500 penalty was imposed. Prior rodent activity was recorded in inspections from 2011, 2018, and 2024, with the most recent inspection in 2018 showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections passed.
