2265 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
2265 Strauss Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville and owned by Clarence Elliott. The building, constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, most notably regarding heat and water systems. Two heat/hot water emergencies were reported in late 2024 (September) and late 2022 (November), with the 2024 incident confirmed as resolved while the 2022 inspection could not gain access to the building.
The property has also faced significant plumbing problems, with multiple complaints between 2023-2024 involving basins, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, though most were closed without violations, except for a July 2024 mold violation. Recent inspections in July 2024 revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 2F, including concerns about bathroom ceiling paint, radiator maintenance, leaky roof, and carbon monoxide detector issues. There are also pressing health and safety concerns, with open violations related to lead paint hazards and a mouse infestation in the same apartment.
The building has a history of unsanitary conditions, including verified mold issues (July 2024) and previous infestations (October 2023 and September 2022). Security issues were noted in September 2024 with violations regarding defective vestibule door latches, though there was a similar violation that was promptly closed earlier in the month. A rodent inspection in August 2023 passed, but this appears inconsistent with the July 2024 infestation violation. While housing authorities have responded to numerous complaints, many inspections resulted in no violations, though multiple violations remain open as of 2024.
