1151 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1151 36th Street in Kensington, owned by Mayer Schwartz, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most recently, as of November 2024, there is an open violation related to the required annual bedbug report filing, which had also been cited as an A-class violation in March 2023 and multiple times in previous years.

In June 2023, the building underwent inspections resulting in a B-class violation for a defective window in Apartment 1 on the first floor, which has since been certified as corrected, and a C-class violation for a vestibule door self-closing mechanism issue. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including 311 service requests in February 2021 for paint/plaster issues and water leaks, though these did not result in violations. Earlier violations from 2018 indicate several safety-related notification requirements that needed addressing, including postings for smoke detector requirements, heating system key holder information, and carbon monoxide detector requirements, all of which are typically important for resident safety.

The building's bedbug status appears to be relatively stable, with the most recent 2022-2023 bedbug report showing no infested units and no eradication or re-infestation cases. The property has maintained basic compliance with many housing maintenance code requirements, though the recurring bedbug reporting violation suggests ongoing administrative oversight challenges. While the building shows various maintenance issues being addressed over time, particularly window repairs and door safety concerns, the most pressing current concern appears to be the open violation regarding bedbug report filing requirements.
