1576 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1576 East 19th Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Cheryl Borkowski and located in the Midwood neighborhood. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in early 2024 when multiple emergency service requests were logged, including plumbing problems with sinks and heavy water leaks.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented, particularly in apartment 6D, where issues with bathroom ceilings, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing doors were identified between 2023 and 2024. The building's elevator system has shown recurring concerns, with complaints filed in 2019 and 2023 regarding the single-device service and multiple devices on property, though inspections generally found no violations. More recent inspections revealed several critical safety issues, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with problems with the entrance doors to apartment 6D and the roof bulkhead door.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 noted problems with elevator cab components. While the building maintains an active energy efficiency violation related to displaying its energy score (as of 2021), there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years, indicating good pest management practices. The property has demonstrated a pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly affecting the top-floor apartment (6D), though most violations have been marked as resolved through appropriate corrections or repairs.
