2268 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 2268 Strauss Street in Brownsville, owned by Jahid Minto, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2022, Unit 1R was found to have multiple serious problems including extremely hot water (150°F), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold (approximately 15 sq ft) in the bathroom, and inadequate hot water supply for fixtures.

Additional violations in 2022-2023 included plumbing issues, pest problems (with violations issued), and various heat/hot water complaints, though inspections often found no violations. More recent issues in early 2025 have focused on safety concerns, with multiple emergency complaints regarding water supply, door/window problems, and missing signage, as well as critical safety checks completed for smoke/CO detectors. The building's history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and safety features, particularly in Unit 1R, where multiple violations remain open as of the 2024 inspection.

While the bedbug reporting for the 2023-2024 period shows no infestations or re-infestations, the building has faced recurring issues with heat, hot water, and various plumbing problems throughout 2022-2025. In terms of regulatory compliance, there are multiple open violations from 2022 related to door issues, water temperature, safety devices, and mold conditions. The property has had three separate notices regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2023-2024, though the most recent filing for the period ending in 2024 shows no affected units.
