143 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
143 Starr Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Barbara Ortiz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two documented complaints in 2023 (November and April) regarding lack of service throughout the entire building, one of which resulted in inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations found.
A significant incident occurred in December 2019 involving multiple emergencies, including water leakage (heavy flow), unsanitary conditions, and sewage issues, though these were subsequently closed. The building has documented pest control needs, with violations for mold and pest problems in July 2018, and more recently, a mouse infestation violation issued in June 2024 specifically affecting apartment 2L. The property currently has several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021).
Recent inspections in 2025 showed passing results for rodent inspections, and the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in the past six evaluation periods (2021-2024). Additional recent violations include lead paint hazards identified in December 2023 in apartment 2L, specifically affecting the north wall and bathroom ceiling. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and responses to various issues, though some violations remain open as of the latest reports from 2024-2025.
