251 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The property at 251 19th Street in Sunset Park is a two-story, 8-unit residential building owned by Beth Green, constructed in 1999 and classified as COMMERCIAL ALTERED CLASS A. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most concerning cluster of problems occurring in September 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, sewage, and flooring issues.

During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations related to various maintenance concerns in apartment 1B, including multiple orders to repair defective plastered surfaces and address peeling paint, as well as a violation for a cockroach infestation that remains open as of the last status update. Earlier records from 2019 noted a water leak complaint related to heavy flow, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection and repair work, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various repairs and improvements. While the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 1B, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, as confirmed through regular reporting from 2019 through 2025. The most recent permits from 2020-2021 suggest ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, though the persistence of the open violation regarding cockroach infestation from 2021 indicates some challenges in fully resolving all maintenance issues.
