1201 Avenue K, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 74-unit, 4-story, 1923 New Law Tenement building at 1201 Avenue K in Midwood, owned by Michael Nektalov, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. From March to June 2025, there were multiple emergencies and violations related to heat and hot water (affecting both whole building and individual apartments), plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions including garbage storage problems and pest infestations. Significant violations were identified in late 2024 in Apartment 3A, including lead paint hazards, window guard deficiencies, water leak issues, and problems with plastered surfaces, while Apartment 4D was found to have bedbug infestations.
The building's infrastructure has also raised concerns, with an active elevator inspection violation from 2019, and more recently, complaints regarding illegal conversions and commercial use in a residential zone as of 2024-2025. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with multiple incidents recorded between 2018 and 2023, affecting up to 13 units in one instance (2018-2019), though subsequent filings indicate successful eradication efforts. Regular rodent inspections in 2017-2018 showed passing results.
The building is currently facing three active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required inspections, including an external low-pressure inspection, energy efficiency score display, and elevator inspection from 2019. Despite these persistent issues, there have been numerous instances (most recent being June 2025) where HPD inspections determined that certain complaints did not violate housing laws, including a recent electrical complaint and a flooring complaint. The building's management has typically been given time to correct violations, with some being certified as corrected by December 2024.
