3715 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 3715 15th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Simon Eisenfeld, has been in operation since 2007 and has experienced several notable incidents. Most recently, in 2024, there was an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage that was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. In 2019, the building faced heating issues with two separate complaints about heat and hot water problems in January, one of which led to violations in apartment 509. More recent inspections in 2025 raised concerns about a newly installed steel balcony on the sixth floor for apartment 50, which resulted in an active Work Without Permit violation regarding its structural installation.

The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2024, and two active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to elevator maintenance. An ECB violation from 2020 noted several elevator-related maintenance issues that remained active as of 2025, with penalties totaling $3,750. The building's safety features have also been under scrutiny, with a 2024 complaint about egress being locked/blocked, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. While bedbug reporting has been consistently filed annually since 2020, all reports indicate zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue.

The building also experienced window guard compliance issues in 2019, with violations recorded for apartment 509 regarding multiple improperly installed or defective window guards. The property has maintained relatively good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024. However, there are several active violations as of 2025 that require attention, including the balcony installation issue, elevator maintenance deficiencies, and a failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation from 2021. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting with consistent zero infestation counts, though housing maintenance code violations and complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding the elevator and heating systems.
