2635 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

2635 Nostrand Avenue is a 54-unit, 6-story residential building in Flatlands, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by David Nierenberg. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with multiple complaints reported to HPD from 2022 through 2025, including both entire building and individual apartment incidents. The most recent complaints in 2025 involved both building-wide and apartment-specific heat/hot water problems, as well as an electrical power outage.

A significant water leak incident was reported in 2024 affecting multiple areas in Apartment 2B, leading to several Housing Maintenance Code violations including water leak repairs, mold abatement, and heating system issues, which were all certified as corrected in February 2024. The building's recent history includes notable elevator and safety concerns, with three separate elevator-related complaints in 2019-2020 resulting in Oath Violations, though these were ultimately resolved. Various violations were documented in 2019-2020 relating to building maintenance, including issues with retaining walls, fire escape obstructions, and unauthorized laundry facilities, all of which have been resolved.

Regulatory compliance appears generally satisfactory, as evidenced by consecutive years of bedbug reports showing no infestation (2021-2025), and multiple rodent inspections from 2015-2019 passed without incident. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 included requiring repairs to plaster surfaces and addressing a sewage odor, while earlier violations from 2018-2021 involved interior maintenance and safety features. The building's management has shown responsiveness to violations, with most being certified as corrected, though some recent complaints have required multiple reporting instances for proper resolution.
