2980 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 2980 Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1925 and currently owned by David Anwar, has experienced significant maintenance and pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, in early February 2025, multiple violations were documented including water leaks, flooring issues, and ceiling problems, with HPD inspections revealing both non-emergency and emergency conditions. The building has also faced persistent pest control issues, with multiple complaints about rodents and unsanitary conditions throughout 2024, particularly affecting Apartment C1 on the third floor.

Inspection records show ongoing violations related to a bedbug reporting requirement (dating back to 2022), and in early 2024, the building received several Class B and C violations concerning pests, door and window repairs, and plaster/paint conditions. Recent developments include a June 2025 complaint about unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of infrastructural and environmental challenges that have required multiple agency interventions.

While some conditions have been resolved (as indicated by closed complaints), several significant violations remain open as of 2025, including those related to bedbug reporting and rodent activity. The property has undergone various inspections by HPD and DOHMH, with some violations requiring court action for enforcement of corrections. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2024 noted rat activity, and earlier inspections in 2024 documented issues with pests that were not fully resolved. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it is subject to specific housing maintenance regulations that govern conditions and required reporting procedures.
