1115 Dorchester Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

1115 Dorchester Road is a 4-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building in Flatbush, built in 1930 and currently owned by Heather Walsh. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns being water-related problems. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks, including incidents of heavy flow and damp spots that resulted in violations.

More recent issues include a rodent problem, with inspections in April and May 2025 confirming rat activity and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing violations that require follow-up inspections. The building also experienced heat and hot water issues affecting the entire structure in January 2022, along with an electrical range problem in December 2020. A significant inspection in July 2023 revealed multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance, including requirements to post various safety notices (such as carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures), maintain proper signage, and address concerns in the 4th story public hall.

These violations were categorized as Class A and B, indicating their importance to resident safety and building maintenance. However, according to recent bedbug reporting data from 2019 through the present, the building has maintained a clean record with zero reported bedbug infestations. While there was a gas utility referral complaint in October 2023, it was closed with no violations found during the inspection in January 2024. The property has shown some consistency in addressing maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of numerous complaints, but the presence of recent violations and repeat maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
