388 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
388 15th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in South Slope and owned by Steven Katz. Built in 1907, this property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a March 2025 inspection that revealed substantial building disrepair, including evidence of significant and continued settlement, with the building leaning towards the exposure 1-4 corner and displaying cracked and shifted corners.
This inspection led to active violations requiring the owner to engage engineers and obtain necessary permits for repairs. The building has also accumulated multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with active violations for the failure to file inspections for 2020, 2022, and 2023. Additionally, a December 2024 complaint about general building maintenance was closed with violations served.
Despite these issues, there is a positive aspect regarding pest control management, as the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2021 through 2024, with no cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation recorded in any unit during this period. The most recent bedbug report for the filing period of November 2023 to October 2024 indicates that the building is currently free of bedbug issues, having filed its annual report appropriately in December 2024. The property has also undergone mandatory annual bedbug reporting inspections in both 2024 and 2021, suggesting some level of compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, even though these inspections were technically violations for failing to file timely reports in those years.
