515 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-unit, two-story building at 515 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Ronald Torres and constructed in 1930, has a documented history of maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns focusing on bedbug reporting compliance. As of April 2024, the Department of Housing Maintenance Code violations include an open Class A violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which has been a recurring issue since 2021.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows a filed report for the period from November 2021 to October 2022, indicating zero infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infestion cases. The property has several other open violations from 2018 that remain unresolved, including a vestibule door issue at the first-story public hall (Class A), a defective bathtub reglaze problem in Apartment 1R (Class B), and safety equipment concerns in Apartment 1F involving missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors (both Class B violations).

The persistence of both bedbug report compliance issues and these safety-related violations, particularly regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detection systems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in this New Law tenement building. The most recent inspection dates of record indicate that while some violations have been closed, many significant issues remain open as of 2025, particularly concerning building safety and regulatory compliance.
