1820 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
This 3-story, 5-unit residential building located at 1820 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1936, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about food contamination (as of June 2025) and a sewage odor complaint from April 2025 that required attention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in December 2021, though these were resolved according to tenant reports.
An electrical power outage in October 2024 prompted an HPD inspection that could not be completed, and there are currently open violations related to failure to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspections for 2017-2019. The property has undergone various regulatory inspections and corrections over the years, including three Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2020-2021 related to lead-based paint hazards in apartments 1R and 2F, which were addressed and closed. Two separate inspections in 2020 and 2021 required the building to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations or eradications.
The Department of Buildings records show recent activity related to Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2023, and historical work without permit violations from 2021 was resolved without penalties. The building's maintenance history reflects typical urban property challenges, with recent focus on food safety and building system reliability. While many past violations have been addressed, some active violations regarding inspection filings remain open as of the latest available data. Permits for various work have been issued in recent years, with the most recent in April 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the current owner, Kimberley Baptiste.
