2990 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 2990 Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, currently owned by Oleg Krasntiskiy, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues throughout 2024-2025. Most concerning are open violations as of August 2024 in Apartment 1R for hazardous conditions including **mold**, **pest infestations** (mice and roaches), and defective **smoke/carbon monoxide detectors**. Multiple plumbing issues have persisted, with January 2024 complaints about both heavy and slow water leaks, which resulted in HPD violations. The building's infrastructure has also faced scrutiny, with recent violations regarding boiler safety systems and pressure relief valve issues recorded in June 2024.

The property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, particularly in early 2024 when inspectors discovered an allegedly illegally converted cellar space with multiple bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and bedrooms lacking natural light/ventilation. This led to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations with associated penalties, including for dangerous conditions in the boiler room. The building has also grappled with rodent problems, as evidenced by multiple inspection results showing rat activity from late 2023 through 2024, though a baiting program has been implemented. While there have been recent bedbug reports filed for the property, they indicate no infestations or previous units, suggesting successful pest management despite ongoing insect problems.

The building's management has faced challenges maintaining basic services and compliance with safety regulations. Complaints about water supply issues, plumbing problems, and various unsanitary conditions suggest persistent maintenance difficulties. The most recent complaints (as of January 2024) involved multiple violation categories, including **plumbing**, **water leaks**, **mold**, **pests**, and **paint/plaster** issues. The property has also been cited for not filing required inspections, including low-pressure inspection reports for 2018-2023, which remain active violations.
