460 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement at 460 15th Street in South Slope, currently owned by Antoinette Kojayan, has a notable history of maintenance and pest control issues since its construction in 1905. The building has experienced recurring rodent problems over the past several years, with the most recent complaints in July 2023 showing both rat sightings and signs of rodents. While inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2023 and 2022 passed without violations, there is an open violation from 2024 relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

A cluster of heating and hot water issues was documented between December 2019 and January 2020, including multiple emergency complaints that resulted in multiple violations, particularly affecting Apartment 5 on the third story with issues related to floor repairs, electrical service, plaster surfaces, and inadequate heat supply. The building has also faced several structural and safety concerns in recent years, with the most recent significant issue being a violation in April 2025 regarding a vandalized cellar door that allowed unauthorized entry. Multiple violations remain active as of 2025 regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2024.

There have been documented drainage issues in 2019 and 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Previous complaints about building security were registered in 2019 and 2023, with the 2023 complaint being closed without violations. The building's management has shown inconsistent response to various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple violations remaining open, particularly in relation to bedbug reporting requirements and the failure to address numerous identified maintenance concerns in Apartment 5 from 2020.
