1840 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 1840 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Abe Betesh, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 2004, though many recent concerns appear to have been resolved. Most notably, there were multiple violations in 2022 related to heat and hot water issues, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment, where hot water temperatures exceeded the maximum allowable limits of 130 degrees.

The building has had recurrent issues with building system maintenance, including violations for a defective entrance door glass pane, fire retardant material, and painting requirements in the public areas documented in September 2022, which remain open as of the latest inspection data. The property has an established track record of timely bedbug reporting, with zero infestation reported in the most recent filings for 2024 and 2023, though violations for failing to file annual reports were noted in early 2023 and 2024.

Previous inspections from 2022 also identified various safety concerns, including problems with smoke detectors and self-closing doors in common areas, though many of these issues were subsequently closed. The building's earlier history shows consistent passing results for rodent inspections between 2011 and 2018, and a series of service requests related to mailbox issues in 2018. While recent bedbug and rodent conditions appear stable, the building still has unresolved maintenance items from 2022 that could affect resident comfort and safety.
