215 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The two-family house at 215 13th Street in South Slope, owned by Al Hammer, is a two-story building constructed in 1901. The property has experienced some significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage in December 2023 that required HPD intervention, though these essential services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.
There have been two documented rat sightings, one in October 2023 and another in November 2020, with the 2023 inspection resulting in no violations found. Both the most recent December 2023 and an earlier January 2021 rodent inspections passed without issues. The building's record shows consistent attention to pest control, with three annual bedbug reports between 2021-2025 showing no infested units, and the property has maintained good standing in pest management.
Of particular note is a recent illegal conversion complaint filed in January 2025, though the Department of Buildings was unable to access the property for inspection on two attempts in March 2025. This incident should be monitored for any potential implications regarding unauthorized alterations to the building. Despite these issues, the building has generally passed health inspections and maintained compliance with the Bedbug Disclosure and Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
