3860 Nautilus Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-family house at 3860 Nautilus Avenue in Sea Gate, owned by Jacob Kahane, has undergone several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting its second-floor apartment (2FL). In late 2021, the building experienced concerning conditions including mold, water leaks with damp spots, and ceiling plaster issues, all of which led to multiple violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations were addressed through inspections in October 2021 and May 2022, which revealed specific problems such as a leaking roof affecting the ceiling in the first room from the north, defective wood frame at the bathroom window, and a visible mold condition involving approximately 1 square foot on the west wall and 2 square feet on the ceiling. Additionally, there was a violation noted regarding a defective carbon monoxide detector in the same apartment.

More recent records show the building is currently free of bedbug infestations, with consistent reports from 2021 through early 2024 indicating zero infested units. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2023, passing one inspection in December while initially failing another in September for unspecified reasons. While the building has experienced notable maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 2021-2022, there have been no recent records of similar issues, though the 2023 rodent inspection result and the earlier mold violations underscore that historical maintenance concerns may require ongoing attention.
