268 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 268 15th Street in South Slope, owned by John Walsh, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Between December 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with ten separate HPD service requests filed during this period, prompting emergency inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
While HPD confirmed these building-wide heat and hot water issues, there were periods when inspectors were unable to gain access for verification purposes. The building, constructed in 1931, has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and all previous annual bedbug report violations from 2021-2024 have been resolved.
The most recent rodent inspection from October 2022 passed without issues, following a compliance inspection in 2010 which had noted rat activity. While the heating system problems in early 2025 were significant, it's worth noting that the building has a generally good track record in other maintenance areas, with no ongoing violations or infestations as of the latest reports.
