680 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

680 Union Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Michelle De La Uz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 and HPD between 2021 and 2024, including most recently in December 2024 and November 2024. While many of these complaints were eventually closed with reports of restored services, the persistence of such issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The building has maintained a routine of filing bedbug reports annually, with no reported infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025), though there was one violation noted in 2024 regarding the late submission of the annual report. Recent inspections and violations indicate some maintenance concerns, including a 2023 C-class violation for defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and bulkhead, as well as encumbrances in public hallways on the 4th and 5th stories. Safety-related violations from 2021-2023 show that the property has addressed requirements to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures.

The building's history also shows some environmental control issues dating back to 2018 regarding sidewalk shed design, which was resolved with a $1,600 penalty. Rodent inspections between 2014 and 2019 show varied results, with one failure for "Other Reasons" in September 2019, though this was followed by a passing compliance inspection. The building has held multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work since 2018, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrades to building systems.
