15 East 19Th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The seven-story, 33-unit building at 15 East 19th Street in Flatbush, owned by Richard Nguyen and completed in 2017, has experienced several notable incidents over its operational history. Most recently, in April 2025, residents reported inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, resulting in multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints. This followed a similar pattern from 2025-06, suggesting an ongoing infrastructure challenge.

The property has maintained a clean pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 filing periods, following successful rodent inspections in 2018. The building's elevator system raised concerns in March 2022, though inspections found no violations. The Department of Buildings has documented some compliance issues, including a failure to submit required external wall examination reports in December 2022, which was later resolved with no penalties imposed.

Earlier, in 2018, there was an oath violation issued regarding construction work beyond approved plans. The building's permit history shows multiple permits issued in 2018-2019 for new building and plumbing work, indicating active maintenance of building systems. While most inspections and complaints have resulted in no violations being warranted, the recent heating system issues appear to be the most significant ongoing concern for residents.
