2261 Strauss Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The two-story, four-unit Brownsville tenement at 2261 Strauss Street, built in 1930 and currently owned by Adeola Vickerie, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, over the past 24 months. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024, including three emergency reports in January through November, with at least one incident requiring HPD intervention that resulted in violations (January 2024).
The building currently has several open violations from 2024, primarily affecting second-floor apartment 2R, including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, self-closing doors, heat supply, and a reported mice infestation. There is also an outstanding violation requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report.
Previous complaints have included unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (April 2023) and pest issues (August 2022), with varying outcomes including inspections with no violations and complaints that could not be accessed for inspection. The building's recurring heating system problems and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
