243 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

243 16th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in South Slope, Brooklyn, that was constructed in 2001 and is currently owned by Louis Locicero. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns about heating and safety systems. Notably, there have been recurring violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which remain open as of April 2024.

The third-floor apartment (3L) experienced multiple violations in 2019, including inadequate heating supply, excessively hot water, and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some of these issues were marked as closed by November 2019. More recent concerns include two active violations as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 and 2021. A 2024 complaint regarding the Certificate of Occupancy was marked as unable to gain access during inspection.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, including a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in 2019 that resulted in violations. Rodent inspections in 2017 showed mixed results, with an initial failure in March and a subsequent pass in June of that year. One noteworthy aspect of the building's history is that while there have been various complaints and violations, many are related to documentation requirements (such as bedbug reports and inspection filings) rather than immediate health or safety concerns.
