15 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
15 St Marks Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Park Slope, built in 1889 and currently owned by Judith Golowa. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent complaint in December 2024 documenting a slow water leak that resulted in violations. A concerning pattern of maintenance issues appears in 2025, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints including mold, flooring, door, electrical, fire escape, and various unsanitary conditions.
In 2024, there were significant violations related to water damage and construction work, including an unresolved issue regarding unauthorized alterations to Apartment 4L's roof area, along with multiple violations concerning hall maintenance and various repairs needed throughout the building. The property has a documented history of pest issues, with multiple complaints about pests in 2025, though there have been no bedbug reports since 2020 and the most recent rodent inspections (2017-2018) indicated some level of rat activity with subsequent baiting efforts. Two recent Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 remain active, one concerning improper construction modifications and another regarding lack of final inspection for permitted work.
The building has undergone multiple HPD inspections over the past few years, resulting in various violations related to paint/plaster damage, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions. While many of these violations have been closed after inspection, current open violations in 2024 and 2025 raise ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's age and history suggest persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding water management and building systems.
