215 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The three-story, four-unit building at 215 Ashland Place in Fort Greene, owned by Andrew Kraut and constructed in 1800, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events over the past years. The most significant recent concerns involve carbon monoxide detector issues in April 2022, which triggered emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on two occasions within a week, though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through mid-2023, with no reported infestations during the mandated filing periods. However, there is currently an open Class A violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which stands in contrast to the previously documented compliance. Historically, the building has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting between 2018 and 2023, with no recorded infested or re-infested units in any of the annual filings.

A B-class violation from 2018 required the discontinuation of certain plumbing fixtures in the cellar area, suggesting previous issues with unauthorized living spaces. The building's maintenance history includes an inspection in 2018 that showed no violations during a professional certification compliance audit. Active permits from 2018 indicate regular upkeep and compliance with city requirements, though the more recent bedbug reporting violation from 2024 represents the only significant outstanding issue in the most current records available through October 2023.
