1583 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

This two-family house located at 1583 East 15th Street in Midwood, owned by David Simon, has experienced recurring issues with heat/hot water and cooking gas systems over recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were emergency complaints about both cooking gas and heat/hot water problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in the former case and confirmed restoration of services in the latter.

Similar heating system issues were documented in January 2019, affecting the entire building, with multiple inspection attempts. The property has also faced several Department of Buildings investigations in 2020, including complaints regarding illegal conversion, certificate of occupancy issues, and construction violations; however, inspectors were often unable to gain access to complete their evaluations.

The building's recent history shows a notable improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent three annual reporting periods (2022-2025). Prior to this, in 2018-2019, there were three units affected, though these were all eradicated. While a plumbing permit was issued in February 2019, the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with essential services like heating and cooking gas, as evidenced by the multiple emergency service requests and inspection attempts throughout recent years.
