296 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 296 Union Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Salvatore Alessi, has a mixed maintenance history since its 1920 construction as an Old Law Tenement. The most significant recent incident occurred in January 2021, when a heat and hot water complaint was filed for the entire building, though inspectors from HPD were unable to gain access to verify the reported issues.

The building has experienced recurring administrative challenges, evidenced by violations in 2019 and 2021-2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, though recent filings from 2022-2024 demonstrate consistent compliance with "0" reported infested units or eradications during the designated reporting periods. In terms of building safety and maintenance, there was a lighting violation in 2019 concerning inadequate front entrance lighting that was resolved by May of that year.

The building's rodent inspections in 2013 show a mix of results, with one failure for "Other Reasons" in August and a subsequent passing compliance inspection in September. The property's recent inspection history suggests improved maintenance practices, particularly regarding pest management, as evidenced by the absence of reported infestation issues in the past several years and the timely filing of required reports.
