2026 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 4-story, 11-unit building at 2026 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Clinton Spicer, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months (2025). Most notably, the building has faced multiple heat and hot water problems in early 2025, with complaints about lack of service in both individual apartments and common areas between January and February 2025.

Three significant violations were issued following a December 2024 inspection, including issues with hot water access, window bars/fire egress safety, and pest infestations (rodent and cockroach) in Apartment 1B, along with problems in Apartment 3C's bathroom. A recent inspection in March 2025 resulted in violations related to garbage/recycling storage, though many of the other complaints from this period (including issues with the roof door, gutter, pavement, and intercom system) did not result in documented housing law violations. The building's mechanical systems have been a persistent concern, with an active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from April 2024 regarding the boiler system, citing multiple safety issues and resulting in a $3,125 penalty.

There are also multiple active DOB violations dating back to 2018-2023 for failure to file required low pressure inspections, though specific filing dates are not provided in the data. Recent rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity and bait application, though a bedbug report for the 2023-2024 period indicated no infestations. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of both resolved and ongoing issues, with several emergency situations requiring HPD response in early 2025, including heat/hot water outages and various building systems problems.
