2970 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 2970 Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by David Bamshad, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, the building suffered a fire in January 2023 that caused damage to the commercial space and apartment 2A, and remains under an active violation for failure to submit an acceptable inspection report regarding structural compromise as of April 2023.

The property has also faced several regulatory compliance challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and various safety-related issues documented in 2018, such as exposed electrical wiring in the cellar and missing safety postings regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detector requirements—all of which were subsequently closed. The building's recent history includes several complaints and inspections in 2025, with issues ranging from unauthorized work in an occupied building to construction violations that resulted in a partial vacate order.

Despite these challenges, the property has demonstrated some positive maintenance outcomes, including passing rodent inspections in 2023 and 2009, and reporting no bedbug infestations or re-infestations in the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2023 for the period of November 2021 to October 2022. The building, constructed in 1925, has a documented history of compliance and violation issues that warrant attention, particularly the ongoing concerns related to the 2023 fire damage and structural compromise inspection requirements.
