274 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 274 19th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Zorka Sekulovic, has experienced several noteworthy events regarding building maintenance and safety requirements. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced heating system access issues when the HPD could not inspect for heat/hot water concerns.

Multiple open violations were issued in July 2023, including missing or defective self-closing doors for both the entrance and vestibule on the first story, and several missing required safety notices regarding gas leak procedures, heating system access, smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and bedbug reporting rules. Additionally, a September 2023 incident involving unsafe demolition practices resulted in a $2,500 penalty for Ultimate 1 Construction, citing blocked egress and debris accumulation on all three floors, though this was subsequently resolved. The building's history also shows some concerning patterns related to essential services and pest management.

A 2019 rodent sighting complaint was recorded, though an inspection that same year resulted in a passing grade. Bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2023 consistently show zero infested dwelling units, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation during these periods. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, the more recent safety violations in 2023 regarding door functionality and missing safety notices suggest an ongoing need for attention to building maintenance and safety protocols.
