187 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 187 16th Street in South Slope, owned by Anna Aulisa and constructed in 1931, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety issues over the past three years. Most recently, in late 2023 through early 2024, there were significant mold problems in apartment 3R, with violations documented in multiple areas, along with the apartment experiencing rodent infestations (both mice and roaches).

The building has a concerning history of accessibility issues for inspections, particularly noted in complaints regarding doors/windows, fire escape safety, and general janitorial conditions between 2022-2023. The property has faced multiple violations and complaints related to building systems and safety concerns, including three separate instances of boiler-related issues between 2022 and 2023 (with an active violation as of October 2023 for an unregistered CosmoGas boiler in apartment 3R), and multiple emergency maintenance code violations primarily affecting apartment 3R.

There were also significant safety concerns documented in 2022 regarding fire escape blockages and means of egress, as well as multiple complaints about window guards and door issues. The building's environmental records show no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and a rodent inspection in 2013 showed a passing result. Recent permit activity related to violation remediation is showing movement, with permits in process as of June 2025, suggesting ongoing efforts to address some of the building's documented issues.
