291 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

291 Union Street is a 7-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Carroll Gardens, currently owned by Andrew Gerber. The building has experienced several notable events regarding tenant services and maintenance requirements. Most significantly, in March 2021, there was a heating and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though this was resolved within a day according to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development response.

The building has also faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and compliance requirements, particularly in March 2021, including failures to properly post notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements, and bedbug reporting, as well as not maintaining proper entrance signs. These violations, while labeled as "Open," primarily relate to documentation and notification requirements rather than immediate safety concerns. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, with all bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units.

The Department of Buildings records show some elevator-related violations in late 2020, which were resolved by 2022 through proper certification by Otis Elevator Company. Three alteration permits were issued between 2019 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems. While the 2021 heating issue and safety notice violations are worth noting, the building's overall compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and prompt resolution of service issues indicates generally responsive management practices, though some administrative compliance matters remain outstanding as of the most recent records.
