3178 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 79-unit, 6-story building at 3178 Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Sammy Regjaj, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2019. Most recently, in March 2024, there were complaints about sewage odor affecting indoor air quality, which prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advisory to the management. The building has faced ongoing heating and plumbing challenges, with notable incidents in December 2022 regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. Additionally, there have been persistent pest-related issues, particularly in apartment 1M in 2022, for which violations were issued.

The building's infrastructure has raised several concerns, most significantly documented in the Elevator and Boiler categories. Multiple violations related to elevator maintenance were recorded between 2018-2020, with active ECB violations as of April 2020 regarding hoistway maintenance and inspections. The boiler system has also been a focal point of attention, with violations issued for corrosion and other issues in 2019. More recently, in June 2024, there is an open violation regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection.

The building's management has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting, with all recent filings showing zero infested dwelling units, and passed a rodent inspection in February 2022. The property has accumulated various Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring attention to fire escape maintenance (as of May 2024), pest control, and structural issues, particularly affecting apartment 1M. Historical complaints show a pattern of heating system problems, particularly evident in March 2019 when multiple tenants reported heat and hot water deficiencies. While some violations have been resolved, including those related to safety notices and electrical concerns in 2019, there remains an active violation list as of 2025 that includes open ECB violations and unmet inspection requirements. The building's management has successfully maintained records showing no bedbug infestations over recent years, suggesting effective pest control measures when such issues arose.
