151 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 151 19th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Dominic Aiello and constructed in 1916, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In November 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about wall conditions, doors, pest infestations, bathtub/shower problems, mold, and flooring issues.

While most of these investigations resulted in no violations, there were specific plumbing violations noted in the bathtub/shower area. The building's Housing Maintenance Code Violations from November 2023 reveal several open issues in apartment 3R, particularly concerning safety systems and maintenance including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defects in plastered surfaces, floor repairs needed in the kitchen, and issues with the bathroom fixtures. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent annual report for 2022-2023 showing zero infested units, following a previous period (2020-2021) where there were 8 units treated.

Historical records from previous years (2021-2022, 2020-2021) consistently show either zero or minimal infestation counts. A Local Law 188 inspection in February 2024 found no violations warranting action. The building's recent maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address the open violations in apartment 3R related to safety systems and building maintenance.
