2031 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

2031 Union Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Pelham Bollers. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building filed in 2019, 2022 (twice), and most recently in December 2022.

While some of these complaints were resolved after inspection, the pattern indicates persistent heating system challenges. The building has also faced recent sanitation issues, with an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage and recycling storage filed in July 2023, which remains under open violation as of September 2023, along with a separate violation issued in September 2023 concerning accumulated refuse at the front yard area. Other notable concerns include a 2018 heating violation for inadequate heat supply in apartment 3B, a locked access violation for the building's heating system door, and a missing or defective vestibule door violation from September 2023.

The building has gone through multiple bedbug treatment cycles, with the most recent reports showing no current infestations as of January 2025, though there were previous instances in 2022-2024 requiring eradication measures. Two rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 passed, indicating no rodent issues during those evaluations. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, though recent bedbug treatments appear to have been effective in maintaining a pest-free environment as of early 2025.
