1050 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-unit, 3-story Midwood tenement at 1050 East 15th Street, built in 1931 and currently owned by Zulfigar Sansua, has multiple ongoing violations that span several years and present significant concerns for resident safety and building maintenance. Most concerning are the repeated failures to file required annual bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024, for which the property has received four Class A violations.

The building also has serious maintenance issues documented in January 2022, including unsafe electrical wiring in the first-floor public hall, exposed surfaces in need of proper paint treatment on the third floor, and problems with fire retardant materials in the third-floor hall. Additionally, there were multiple violations in the bulkhead area requiring attention, including the need to remove encumbrances, repair roof leaks, and address fire safety concerns. The building's systems and safety maintenance records show concerning patterns of neglect.

There are currently active violations with the Department of Buildings dating back to 2019 regarding the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections from 2012, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons before passing compliance inspection later that year. The combination of these open violations, particularly those related to bedbug reporting and safety systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
