715 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 715 Carroll Street in Park Slope, owned by John Walsh and dating back to 1920, has experienced several notable events, particularly concerning its mechanical systems and pest management compliance. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2022 and 2024, although no actual bedbug infestations have been reported in the past 8 years of filings.

The building's heating system has been a significant focus of attention, with multiple Department of Buildings violations issued in June 2023 regarding failed annual boiler inspections from 2017-2020, and two Environmental Control Board violations concerning improper boiler and water heater connections, resulting in penalties totaling $810 which were subsequently resolved. The property has also faced rodent-related issues, with a rat sighting reported in February 2022 (though this was followed by inspection results showing no rat activity in subsequent inspections). The building's record shows consistent attention to pest management, with all bedbug reports since 2019 showing zero infested units, and only one rat-related complaint in February 2022.

The property owner has generally addressed violations when issued, as evidenced by the resolution of the June 2023 boiler-related violations. The most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 shows continued compliance with reporting requirements, though it indicates a filing period (2023-2024) during which violations were previously noted. The building's mechanical systems and pest management remain the primary areas of regulatory focus, with historical patterns showing attention to compliance requirements, albeit with some recurring issues particularly around boiler inspection filings.
