243 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
243 13th Street is a 5-story, 25-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Margaret Brunn. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 involving electric/gas range appliances, and prior concerns in 2024 including mold (violations issued), no lighting, and heat/hot water issues - all of which were subsequently resolved.
The building has an active ECB violation as of December 2023 related to facade maintenance with a $3,125 penalty, and open violations from February 2024 regarding mold, electrical, and plaster issues in Apartment 25. Earlier, in 2022, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 11 concerning plumbing, flooring, and pest issues, though most were closed after inspection. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program since 2019, with no reported infestations in the last several reporting periods, except for two infested units in 2018-2019 which were marked as eradicated.
The building's recent complaint history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly with electric/gas ranges, evidenced by three separate complaints in 2025 and 2024. While many complaints have been resolved with no violations found upon inspection, there are several open citations that require attention, particularly regarding mold remediation and electrical issues in Apartment 25. The building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various systems and components is required, though the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years is a positive note regarding pest management.
