231 Senator Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

231 Senator Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential tenement building located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, owned by Susan Lambert and constructed in 1906. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints registered in 2019 (four incidents) and 2021 (two incidents), all affecting the entire building.

Each of these complaints was resolved with reports indicating that heat and hot water had been restored, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) advised residents to file new complaints if problems persisted. In April 2021, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations that were subsequently addressed and closed, including issues with bedbug reporting, required safety notices about smoke detectors, and multiple safety-related matters such as a broken entrance door lock and an obstructed fire escape.

Most recently, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file a required external low-pressure inspection from 2020. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five filing periods (2019-2024), and all previous reports consistently show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While historical heating system issues and the recent inspection violation are noteworthy, the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug management requirements and has resolved various safety-related violations in a timely manner.
