296 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 296 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Jay Lubin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about heat and hot water access, with multiple complaints in late 2024-early 2025, including three emergency complaints in December 2024 alone.
The building also faces safety concerns, as evidenced by a March 2025 fire escape issue that resulted in violations. Several units have reported unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, with violations issued in November 2024 and January 2025. Additional maintenance challenges have emerged in recent inspections, including multiple violations in apartment 1R related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, as well as pest infestations in late 2024.
Apartment 3L has been cited for both lead paint hazards and other maintenance issues, including a problematic door that was sealed shut and concerns about self-closing mechanisms. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for several years (2020-2025), past inspections have noted rodent activity, though a compliance inspection in 2011 showed no current issues. The property has a pattern of requiring multiple inspection attempts to gain access and confirm issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints.
