231 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-story, 24-unit residential building at 231 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Andrea Wang, has been involved in several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past few years. In 2024, there were multiple housing maintenance code complaints regarding interior conditions including paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, flooring problems, and a window frame concern, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful and complaints were ultimately closed due to lack of access confirmation. Additionally, there was a rodent sighting complaint in August 2024 that inspectors could not access to verify.

The building has ongoing matters related to its façade and safety infrastructure, with an active façade (LL11/98) unsafe notification from September 2023 and two active DOB violations from 2024 concerning swarm conditions and an unsafe report filing. The property has a history of receiving bedbug documentation violations from 2021-2023, though the most recent report from December 2023 indicates zero infested units. Recent safety concerns include an active ECB violation regarding sidewalk shed non-compliance issued in August 2024, with a potential penalty of $6,250.

The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and some permit activity, with rodent inspections in 2014 and 2020 passing. While there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, many have been resolved or closed due to various reasons, including failure to gain access for inspections. The property is now under the scrutiny of active violations and recent complaints that suggest ongoing maintenance and safety oversight challenges.
