236 East 23rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
236 East 23rd Street is a four-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1932 and currently owned by 236 E 23rd Associates LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning water damage, which has been documented through multiple complaints and violations between 2020 and 2023.
Most recently, in August 2023, there were several emergency complaints related to water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations. The Department of Buildings has recorded an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection, though past complaints regarding the Certificate of Occupancy from 2020 were closed with no violations found during inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water supply problems and leaks between 2020 and 2021.
Apartment 1B appears to have been particularly affected by various maintenance issues as demonstrated by the August 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violations, which cited problems including mold, pest infestation, broken windows, and damaged flooring. Despite these issues, the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2021, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021, indicating some improvement in pest management. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance challenges, recent inspections suggest that previous issues may be receiving more systematic attention, though the outstanding Low-Pressure Inspection violation should be noted.
