1519 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1519 Union Street is a 2-family house located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mendy Wilhelm. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in July 2023 when residents reported problems with heat/hot water, carbon monoxide detection, and a power outage, all of which were classified as emergency situations. While inspections were conducted for the latter two issues and no violations were found, the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the heat/hot water complaint, which was eventually closed.

Additionally, during February 2023, there was a rodent-related complaint that resulted in no violations being found. The building has a history of inspection attempts by the Department of Buildings regarding permit matters in both 2024 and 2021, though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access on their second final attempt. On a more positive note, the property has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control measures, passing multiple inspections between 2011 and 2025, including three consecutive annual passes through 2024-2025.

The building's bedbug reporting record for the period 2021-2022 shows no infestations or related issues. The most recent documented rodent inspection from March 2025 confirms continued compliance with health standards. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and power reliability, the regular passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug problems since 2021 suggests effective management of these specific pest control issues.
