2847 West 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-family house at 2847 West 15th Street in Coney Island, owned by Leela Mathai, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with documented incidents in 2019, 2021, and 2022, though each case was closed due to inaccessible units during inspections.

The building has also experienced various plumbing and electrical issues, as evidenced by a cluster of emergency complaints in early 2024 concerning radiators, bathtub/shower problems, door issues, and electrical outlets/switches, all of which were subsequently closed. Other significant maintenance concerns include a heavy water leak complaint in 2021 and a safety issue regarding smoke detectors that same year, both of which were also closed due to access issues.

The property has maintained an active compliance status regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations for failing to file the annual bedbug report between 2021 and 2024. There is a notable pattern of access denial during inspections for multiple complaints, including several concerning illegal conversions between 2018 and 2025, and issues with egress and gas hook-ups in 2020. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2014, this property exhibits recurring maintenance challenges that have spanned multiple years, with particular attention required to the pattern of heating system problems and difficulties in obtaining access for inspections.
