2016 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
2016 Strauss Street is a 3-unit, 3-story Class A residential building located in Brownsville, owned by Angela Layne and built in 2002. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with particular concern about heating and water supply problems - most recently documented in September 2023 when the entire building experienced heat and hot water issues, though these were reportedly resolved within a day. The property has an active bedbug prevention program, with the most recent report from March 2025 showing no infestation during the November 2023-October 2024 period, continuing the clean record from previous filings.
An inspection in April 2024 revealed one administrative violation related to bedbug reporting requirements. The building has multiple outstanding violations from May 2023 inspections that require attention, including issues with the bathroom cabinet, fire retardant plaster in the public hall, and various safety notice requirements regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and gas leak procedures. These violations, classified as A and B, indicate potentially serious safety concerns that remain unresolved.
The property has a history of maintenance issues, with multiple 311 complaints between 2022-2023 regarding heat, plumbing, and appliance problems, as well as reports of unsanitary conditions and pests in March 2023. While some of these issues were resolved (including the restoration of heat and hot water in 2023), the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history includes a boiler-related complaint in 2019, though no violations were found at that time.
