1618 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1618 East 15th Street is a 4-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1928 in Sheepshead Bay, currently owned by Alan Drezin. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns occurring in April 2024 involving electrical lighting problems and heavy water leaks, both of which were classified as emergencies but did not result in violations.

The building has faced recurring challenges with basic services, particularly heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints documented in January and February 2019 about outages affecting the entire building, though these were reported as resolved during HPD's response. The building's violation history reveals some structural and safety concerns, including an open violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and past violations related to building security in early 2019 concerning faulty doors and locks at the entrance and vestibule.

While there have been various sanitation-related complaints, including a sewage incident in July 2023 and a rat sighting in March 2024, inspections generally found no violations. The property has maintained an active bedbug management record from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units or re-infestations across multiple annual filings, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in March 2024, indicating appropriate pest control measures are being maintained.
