104 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

104 15th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and owned by Hector Rivera. Built in 1899, this formerly converted Class A building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, specifically related to bedbug reporting.

The most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, along with an identical violation in March 2023, remain open, indicating ongoing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports. This pattern of violations is notable given that previous bedbug reporting periods (2019-2020 and 2020-2021) had no reported infestations, with all units being recorded as free of infestation and eradicated units. A prior bedbug reporting violation from 2022-2023, while closed, is also worth mentioning.

In addition to the bedbug compliance issues, there was a complaint about illegal after-hours work at the property in January 2021, though this was investigated and found not to warrant any violations. Despite the bedbug reporting violations and the illegal work complaint, the building's documented history shows no reported infestations during the most recent bedbug monitoring periods, with all units consistently reporting as either infested unit count of 0 or eradicated unit count of 0. The most pressing current concern remains the open bedbug reporting violations from 2023 and 2024, which could suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to city health and safety regulations.
