2389 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 4-story, 24-unit building at 2389 Nostrand Avenue in Flatlands, owned by Djevat Muratovic, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, there was a fire incident that caused damage to apartments 3B and 4B, which remain under open violation status. The building is also facing multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection, including issues with self-closing doors at various locations (building entrance, garbage chute, and roof access) and rust on fire escape stairs that require scraping and repainting.

The most recent service requests from May 2025 have generated multiple violations requiring correction, including problems with ceilings, bathrooms, plumbing fixtures, and a water leak. These recent complaints, which were primarily from May 16, 2025, involved issues with ceilings (violations issued), slow water leaks (violation issued), and various plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower, sink/basin, toilet), though some complaints such as flooring and unsanitary conditions (mold) were found not to violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, though some have been resolved.

For example, multiple plumbing and ceiling-related complaints were addressed between May and June 2025. An earlier complaint from February 2025 regarding smoking in a prohibited area was also resolved. The building's age (built in 1932) may contribute to some of these ongoing maintenance challenges. While many recent violations have been issued requiring correction, the building has shown some responsiveness to inspections and complaints, with several issues being addressed through HPD inspections.
