2238 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2238 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Sydney Abrams, has experienced recurring heating and hot water service issues over the past three years.
The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has had six documented heat/hot water complaints since October 2022, with the most recent incidents occurring in December 2024 and January 2025, affecting the entire building. While HPD responded to these complaints, tenants typically reported that heat and hot water had been restored by the time inspectors arrived, though in the October 2024 incident, inspectors were unable to gain access to apartments for verification.
The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all official filings (2021, 2023, and 2024) indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during the reporting periods. Four Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded between 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were received and closed, suggesting administrative rather than pest control issues.
