2972 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 5-unit, 3-story tenement building at 2972 Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, currently owned by David Bamshad, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there were multiple plumbing-related problems between 2020-2021, including toilet and sink issues, and a water supply problem that was classified as an immediate emergency in June 2021.

In March 2022, the building experienced heat and hot water problems affecting the entire structure, though this was resolved within two days. The building has also been subject to annual bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with all four violations now closed, though there were no reported infestations during the relevant periods (as per the July 2022 filing showing zero infested units between November 2020 and October 2021).

Most recently, there have been two complaints regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, with the latest complaint entered in June 2025 being referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs, and a previous December 2023 complaint resulting in a violation notice. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing-related issues, though many complaints have been resolved without violations being issued. The property is approximately 100 years old, having been built in 1925, and has experienced typical maintenance challenges associated with aging multi-family buildings in New York City.
