1726 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1726 Union Street is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Marc Goldstein. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, most notably during a concentrated period between December 2020 and February 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed for no heat/hot water affecting the entire building.

More recently, there was a mold-related complaint in June 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect properly. The building underwent a February 2023 inspection that revealed several safety violations in apartment 4B, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a defective self-closing door, and an obstruction of the fire escape, though all were certified as corrected by March 2023. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding health and safety systems.

In 2022, apartment 4D had multiple violations including carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, and a pest infestation that required remediation. While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019 and the rodent inspections have generally passed, there remains a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints spanning various issues from mold to stair conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passing. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with many violation requirements, as evidenced by multiple certifications of correction, though some recurring issues like heating system reliability and mold problems suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
