2253 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, one-unit tenement building at 2253 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Pearline Telford and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in May 2022. During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, with both heavy flow and slow leaks reported, particularly affecting the ceiling areas.
These complaints resulted in at least two violations being issued, though some inspections did not result in violations. The building has multiple open housing maintenance code violations as of 2024, including an outstanding requirement to file annual bedbug reports for 2023 and 2024, along with several Class B violations from 2022 specific to Apartment 2R regarding roof leaks affecting the ceiling in various rooms (including the bathroom and kitchen), and issues with plastered surfaces and paint.
The property has a documented history of accessibility issues for inspectors, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2020 (specifically regarding plumbing work and building permits) where inspectors were unable to gain access, though subsequent inspections generally found no violations. While the building's pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, many past complaints have been resolved or closed, and not all inspections resulted in violations being issued.
