2148 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 2148 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Cindy Borel, has been in existence since 1930. The property has experienced several housing maintenance code violations in recent years, with the most significant issues occurring in 2024 when multiple violations were recorded in May regarding defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and roof bulkhead.

These violations, classified as Class C (indicating potential safety concerns), were subsequently certified as closed by June 2024. The building has also been subject to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations for failure to file the necessary reports noted between 2021 and 2024. However, recent bedbug reports from June 2025 show no infestation issues, with zero infested units reported for the 2023-2024 filing period, and similar zero-infestation records for the previous three reporting periods (2020-2021 through 2022-2023).

The property's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention to building safety features, particularly with the self-closing doors, though these were resolved within a month of being cited. The management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since mid-2024, producing four consecutive reports with no infestation cases recorded. The most recent building data indicates that while there have been recurring maintenance issues, particularly with door hardware and bedbug reporting compliance, these matters have generally been addressed promptly once citations are issued.
