390 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 390 15th Street in Brooklyn's South Slope neighborhood, owned by Howard Katz, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, recent structural concerns have emerged, with the building showing evidence of continued settlement and leaning approximately 1"-2" towards the fourth exposure and 2"-4" towards the first exposure, as documented in multiple active DOB violations issued in 2025.
The Department of Buildings has mandated that the owner engage an engineer and contractor to evaluate the entire building and complete necessary repairs, with filing deadlines set for early 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with heat and hot water in 2019, rat sightings in 2023 (though subsequently passing a February 2024 inspection), and a consistent lack of proper bedbug reporting compliance, with violations issued in both 2021 and 2024.
Additionally, there are outstanding violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2020 through 2022. While the building's bedbug reporting in 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 periods showed no reported infestations, the pattern of violations and structural concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
