156 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-story, 8-unit tenement building at 156 Union Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Abdel Osman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the recurring failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with multiple open violations spanning from 2019 through 2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

In 2019, the building faced several emergency maintenance issues, including a complete loss of heat and hot water affecting the entire building in December 2019, and multiple incidents in March 2019 involving water leaks with heavy flow, electrical lighting problems, and ceiling paint/plaster issues. While some of these incidents were resolved, one specific violation related to ceiling damage in Apartment 1R from March 2019 remains open.

The building's historical maintenance record shows mixed results in terms of pest control, with rodent inspections in 2018 and 2012 showing varying outcomes—though it passed inspections in both 2018 and the 2012 compliance inspection, it initially failed in July 2012 for unspecified reasons. The property's age (built in 1920) and classified as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" are consistent with its history of maintenance challenges. The most recent open violations primarily relate to administrative requirements regarding bedbug reporting, rather than immediate safety concerns, but their persistence over multiple years indicates potential issues with management compliance to housing regulations.
