681 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 681 Union Street in Park Slope, built in 1912, has recently experienced several concerning safety and maintenance issues. In March 2023, the building received multiple emergency service requests for safety concerns including problems with the sprinkler system and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as reports of wall issues and mold. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued, and the cases were closed.
More recently, in February 2023, the building experienced structural concerns related to neighboring construction work at 683 Union Street, resulting in an active Department of Buildings violation regarding concrete penetration through the party wall, which reportedly damaged the wall and wood floor of apartment 1B. This violation remains active as of the latest records. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2024 and 2025, showing no reported infestations during the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 reporting periods.
Additionally, a rodent inspection in March 2018 resulted in a passing score, indicating no significant pest issues at that time. Two bedbug violation notices were issued in 2022 and 2023, though it's unclear from the records whether these were related to actual infestations or administrative issues. The building's management has received consistent bedbug report requirements since 2021, suggesting ongoing monitoring of this particular issue.
