2115 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 6-unit "New Law Tenement" building at 2115 Union Street in Brownsville, owned by Collin Ollivierre and constructed in 1930, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring access issues during HPD inspections in 2025, where inspectors were unable to enter the building to investigate complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests), heat/hot water problems, carbon monoxide detector concerns, and various plumbing issues. In 2024, the building faced multiple violations, particularly affecting apartment 2B, including problems with mold (both in the bathroom and kitchen window frames), plumbing fixtures, a defective self-closing door, and a broken mailbox lock, though most of these violations were subsequently certified as closed.

Earlier records from 2017 and 2018 show successful rodent inspections, passing both initial checks. The most recent complaint history shows a bedbug report for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, though it indicated zero affected or re-infested units. A zoning complaint from 2021 was investigated but found no violations.

The building's recent maintenance history (2024-2025) shows a recurring pattern of complaints, particularly during February-April 2025, with issues spanning multiple systems including heat/hot water, plumbing, and safety equipment. While some inspections resulted in verified issues requiring correction (such as mold and door problems), many complaints in 2025 were closed due to access issues, which suggests challenges in communication or coordination between tenants and inspectors. The building's age and history of various building code violations, while partially addressed through inspections and repairs, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention to ensure resident safety and comfort.
