1578 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1578 Union Street is a 4-story, 14-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Shahla Tashkhisi. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints recorded between January and June 2025, including instances of "Signs of Rodents," "Rat Sightings," and "Unsanitary Conditions." Notably, health inspectors were often unable to access the property for inspection in response to these complaints.
The building also has two open violations as of 2023 related to safety concerns: one regarding a broken mortise lockset in apartment 4D and another concerning obstructed egress from the fire escape at the second-story balcony. The property has a history of hot water heating system issues, with emergency complaints recorded for multiple apartments in 2018 and 2019, though many of these violations have since been closed.
Recent inspections show the building has passed several rodent inspections, with the most recent one conducted in March 2025. While the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no reported infestations in recent years, there are active violations as of June 2023 related to the failure to file low pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020, and a violation from April 2023 for not submitting the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, which was dismissed later in 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing concerns, with particular attention needed to the recurring rodent issues and the open safety violations.
