110 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 110 15th Street in Gowanus, owned by Angela Lappetito, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are open Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2020 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the first-floor unit, which remain unresolved as of the latest inspection date in March 2023.

The building has also faced multiple concerns related to bedbug report compliance, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings show no infestation cases between 2019 and October 2023. In early 2021, there were multiple complaints about unauthorized work and after-hours construction activities, which led to an Environmental Control Board violation for unpermitted electrical work in January 2021, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

While these construction-related complaints were ultimately closed with varying dispositions, including one instance where the inspector was unable to gain access, the building has demonstrated a pattern of regulatory non-compliance during this period. However, more recent bedbug reporting history for the 2022-2023 period shows all units listed as free of infestation, with no eradicated or re-infested units reported, suggesting improved management of this particular issue.
