1525 West 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1525 West 11th Street is a 43-unit, 4-story residential building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Ludovik Benedek. The building has experienced consistent heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with documented problems including four complaints in 2024, four in 2023, and multiple incidents in 2020 and 2021, though most recent reports indicate these issues were resolved promptly.

A cluster of violations was issued in 2021 regarding sanitation and fire safety, including problems with garbage storage and fire escape access, though many of these were subsequently addressed. Recent inspections in June 2023 found multiple violations related to safety notifications, including missing carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedure notices, though these were certified as corrected by August 2023.

The building has active DOB violations for failure to file 2022 external low pressure inspection documents (issued April 2023) and for failure to submit energy benchmarking reports from 2019. However, there have been no documented bedbug infestations or reports in the past three reporting periods (2019-2023), and an initial rodent inspection in September 2017 passed successfully. The building has shown some inconsistency in maintenance record keeping, with multiple inspection periods showing both successful resolution of complaints and instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate reported problems.
