2284 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

2284 Strauss Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Isaac Silberstein. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water disruptions affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Though some of these complaints resulted in HPD violations, there were also several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported issues.

The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance requirements, including a notable cluster of violations in late 2024 related to Apartment 2R, addressing issues such as an infestation of roaches, broken ceiling plaster, roof leaks, door repairs, and gas supply problems for the kitchen range, all of which were certified as corrected by early 2025. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various other issues, including plumbing concerns, appliance maintenance, and building safety requirements. In late 2024, multiple violations were issued regarding self-closing doors in public areas, and there were significant emergencies related to door and window issues.

The building's history includes batched rodent inspections, with initial activity recorded in 2011, though a passing inspection in 2022 suggests improved pest control measures. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building during the annual reporting period since at least 2020, indicating effective pest management in this regard. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, many violations have been addressed and certified as corrected, though some more recent heat-related issues remain a concern.
