3609 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 3609 15th Avenue in Kensington, owned by Nathan Schwarcz, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recent water leak complaint filed in May 2025, which required an HPD inspection that could not be completed due to lack of access, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution.

The building's bedbug reports show a generally positive trend over the past four years, with only one infested unit reported in 2022, while the most recent three annual filings (2023-2025) indicate zero infested units. A concerning situation is currently under investigation, as an illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2025, though inspection and disposition details are still pending.

The property has a documented history of violations and compliance requirements, including a 2022 violation related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved given the subsequent filings. The building's age (built in 1930) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historic status in the neighborhood, but the recent water leak complaint and pending illegal conversion investigation warrant attention. The property has maintained relatively good bedbug management protocols in recent years, with prompt reporting and eradication efforts demonstrated through the official documentation.
