384 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 384 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Louis Barricelli, is a 1907 building currently facing several significant structural and maintenance issues. Most notably, the building is experiencing active violations related to serious facade problems, including a 1-inch wide crack at the front right corner where the brick facade is separating, and evidence of significant and continued settlement. These structural concerns have been documented in multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations throughout 2024-2025, including mandatory requirements for engineering evaluation and repairs.

The building has also faced compliance challenges, with recent violations for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, though one violation regarding sidewalk shed erection was dismissed after compliance was demonstrated. The property has a consistent history of bedbug reporting violations, with open violations in 2023 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code. There are multiple historical complaints regarding potential illegal conversions of space, though these complaints were typically marked as Oath Violation Served or Inspector Unable To Gain Access.

Environmental Control Board violations include a notable instance in 2024 for failure to maintain the building's structural integrity, with an associated penalty of $1,280. Additional historical records show rodent inspection results with one failure for "Other Reasons" in 2009, though a subsequent compliance inspection in 2010 resulted in passing status. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and building integrity, particularly regarding structural maintenance and pest management reporting requirements.
