2064 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

2064 Nostrand Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Joe Gugenhime. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant and recurrent problems centering around the elevator system, which has faced multiple "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints throughout 2024-2025, leading to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations and associated penalties. The building has also been grappling with water-related issues, evidenced by multiple complaints about leaks and heavy flow problems between 2024-2025, along with violations regarding inadequate hot water supply in several apartments (1A, 1D, 1E, 2H, and 5H) documented in December 2024.

The property has recently faced challenges with building cleanliness and maintenance, particularly concerning garbage/recycling storage areas, which generated multiple HPD complaints in May 2025. Additional maintenance concerns include a ceiling paint/plaster issue reported in May 2025, and previous problems with flooring and bathroom facilities that led to HPD inspections. Safety-related violations have been documented, including issues with fire escape access (1A) and defective smoke detectors (1C) noted in November 2024. The building's elevator system has been a recurring theme of violations and complaints, with the most recent ECB violations in 2024-2025 detailing various elevator maintenance and safety issues, including inoperative zone restrictors, problematic machine operation, and maintenance deficiencies, resulting in significant penalties.

While there have been periodic bed bug infestations reported between 2021-2024, recent filings indicate no active infestations as of the 2024-2025 period. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as indicated by various "Closed" status reports for HPD and ECB complaints, though many issues remain active or were marked as requiring further inspection or correction. Historical records show occasional rodent activity, with compliance inspections in 2011 showing mixed results. The property has had multiple inspections and complaints filed with both HPD and DOB, suggesting ongoing monitoring and regulatory oversight of building conditions.
