2105 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 2105 Union Street in Brownsville, built in 1930 and owned by Claudette Carthy, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2023. Currently, there is an active asbestos complaint from May 2023 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which remains unresolved as of this report.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented in March 2023, including defective self-closing doors in apartments 1R and 2R, and the presence of construction materials blocking public hallways. A series of complaints filed in April 2023 regarding mold, electrical wiring, and window frame issues were addressed by HPD, though some of these problems had also been documented in a 2018 inspection. The building has a documented history of mold problems, with violations issued in 2018 for mold conditions in various areas of apartment 1R, specifically mentioning affected walls and ceiling areas.

Window maintenance has been a recurring issue, with violations noted in both 2018 and 2023 regarding window frames and spring balances. The property has consistently filed zero bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025, indicating no infestations during this period, and passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018, suggesting these pest control measures have been effectively maintained. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, most violations have been addressed and closed, though the ongoing asbestos issue represents a current health concern for residents.
