2285 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 2285 Strauss Street in Brownsville, currently owned by Cynthia Registe and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a heating and hot water emergency in January 2024 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a day of the complaint.
Between August and September 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including electrical problems (outlets/switches), ceiling plaster issues, appliance problems (refrigerator), and unsanitary conditions (pests), though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions. The building currently has open housing maintenance code violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement, with inspections conducted in April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024 showing these violations are still unresolved.
Additionally, there was a gas utility referral complaint filed in December 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access during their second and final attempt to investigate in April 2020, and this complaint was subsequently closed. While the building is classified as a New Law Tenement, its maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding pest reporting requirements.
