1841 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, 2-family house at 1841 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Mansour Mehdizadeh, has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a cluster of recent violations from February 2025, including problems with mold, electrical wiring, water supply, and ceiling paint conditions, all of which received HPD violations requiring correction.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with previous violations in 2021 related to plumbing, window and door issues, and ceiling problems. A comprehensive inspection in December 2021 revealed multiple violations in the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), including issues with mice infestation, window repairs, plaster surfaces, carbon monoxide detector functionality, water leaks, and various paint requirements, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in January 2022.

The property has undergone several emergency maintenance requests in February 2025, addressing issues with windows, plumbing, wall conditions, cabinets, and persistent mold problems. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 showed compliance failures "for other reasons," these were likely not directly related to the current living conditions. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure, including plumbing, electrical systems, and general building maintenance, particularly affecting the second-floor unit.
