2302 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

2302 Strauss Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in Brownsville, Brooklyn, built in 1930 and classified as a "New Law Tenement." The property, currently owned by Veda Brown-clarke, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a recent heat and hot water outage in December 2024, which was resolved promptly but adds to a concerning pattern of temperature control issues, as evidenced by similar complaints in January 2021.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure and safety challenges, particularly in July 2021, when multiple violations were recorded including problems with water supply, door conditions, smoke detectors, and pest infestations. While these issues were addressed according to HPD records, the recurrence of heat and water problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building currently has open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 that remain unresolved according to the most recent data.

Additionally, there is an active complaint as of February 2025 regarding the Certificate of Occupancy status, with an inspector unable to gain access for verification in May 2025. A previous complaint from 2019 concerning illegal commercial use in the residential zone was investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. Despite the building's age and history of maintenance issues, records indicate that most complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention, though recurring problems suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance procedures.
