3615 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 3615 15th Avenue in Kensington, owned by Joseph Katz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2023. Most notably, there was a recurring lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building during late 2024, with multiple complaints filed between November 2024 and December 2024.
While HPD inspections confirmed the restoration of services, violations were issued that required the owner to make corrections. The building also suffered from unsanitary conditions relating to garbage and recycling storage, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025 resulting in violations and requiring owner remediation. In addition to these issues, a comprehensive inspection of Apartment 2R in December 2024 revealed multiple violations, including problems with water supply, safety systems, and various maintenance issues such as defective doors, electrical systems, and mold.
The building's exterior maintenance record includes an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (with the most recent filings showing zero units affected), rodent activity was confirmed during inspections in early 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system failures and sanitation issues, with violations issued requiring owner attention and remediation.
