427 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building at 427 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Deborah Majerovitz, has experienced several notable maintenance and code compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding plumbing systems and required inspections. Most concerning are the active violations related to failure to file mandatory low-pressure system inspections for 2023 and 2019, as well as a 2019 violation for not filing the required 2017 boiler inspection report.

In October 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal plumbing work, with one resulting in an Oath Violation being served, and the building was found to have a non-compliant fresh air vent modification that violated plumbing code requirements. The building has maintained a zero infestation record in recent years according to mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent reports from 2024-2022 showing no infested or re-infested dwelling units.

Historical violations include a 2021 complaint about excessive debris (no violation found upon inspection) and unauthorized construction work, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served in September 2022. Additionally, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 regarding inadequate fire stopping in the basement area next to the boiler room, though this violation currently shows no penalty balance due. While the bedbug situation appears well-managed with consistent reporting showing no infestations across three reporting periods, the building's recent history of plumbing and inspection compliance issues suggests attention is needed to meet required safety and maintenance standards.
