1635 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1635 Union Street is a 4-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Solomon Landau. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple DOHMH complaints in 2024 documenting rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, including an April 2024 inspection that noted rat activity and required bait application. Between late 2023 and 2024, the building faced several maintenance challenges, including heat and hot water issues, and various Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints concerning cabinets, paint/plaster conditions, and safety concerns related to smoke detectors across multiple units.
Particularly concerning are the violations recorded in Apartment D1, including lead paint hazards, plaster damage, and a noted pest infestation that required abatement in December 2023. The building's mechanical systems and general maintenance have raised several red flags, as evidenced by Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and complaints. There were multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits or in violation of stop-work orders between 2021-2024, including plumbing and electrical work.
Serious structural concerns were documented in 2021, including issues with fire escape landings, building walls, and spalling brickwork. The property has also faced scrutiny regarding its energy efficiency compliance, with active violations related to failure to display energy scores and certificate of correction requirements dating back to 2019. Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 showed improvement, with one passing inspection, and the building has maintained a record of no reported bedbug infestations in the last two reporting periods (2023-2024), suggesting some progress in pest management.
