1376 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 1376 East 15th Street property in Midwood is a two-story, three-unit residential building owned by Juana Luster and constructed in 1901. The building has demonstrated recurring compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting, as evidenced by open violations in 2022 and 2024, despite showing no infestation activity in the 2022 reporting period with documented counts of zero infested and eradicated units.

Of particular concern is an active violation from September 2019 regarding an elevator defect that was supposedly not corrected following a 2017 Category 1 inspection/test, though the current status of this violation was not explicitly listed in the available data. The property has experienced several complaints between 2020-2021, all of which were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection.

These complaints included concerns about an inadequate or illegal fence, non-conforming zoning issues, and illegal commercial use in a residential zone, though none of these complaints were substantiated at the time of inspection. While these complaints were ultimately unfounded, they suggest previous concerns about proper use and maintenance of the property. The building's age (124 years as of 2025) and the persistence of certain regulatory compliance issues warrant attention, particularly regarding the unresolved elevator defect violation and recurring bedbug reporting issues.
