2837 West 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 2837 West 15th Street in Coney Island, owned by Edwin Torres, has been facing several maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are two active violations as of July 2025 related to the failure to file required 2021 and 2022 external low-pressure inspections.

The building has experienced recurring issues with door closures throughout the property, including defective self-closing doors in the vestibule and apartment 2F, as well as a lead paint hazard in apartment 3R that was documented in April 2023. Multiple emergency complaints were filed in 2021 regarding water leaks and mold, though inspectors could not gain access to investigate these issues. The property has shown some recent improvement in pest management, with the 2025 bedbug report showing no current or past infestations, though there were significant sanitation issues documented in 2021, including complaints about unsanitary conditions and rodent attractants.

The building's maintenance history also reveals ongoing concerns with basic infrastructure, including plumbing problems and electrical issues reported in April 2023. Safety features such as fire escape mechanisms and window guards have been identified as defective or missing during recent inspections, indicating potential safety hazards for residents. While some violations have been addressed and closed, several critical issues remain open, particularly those affecting resident safety and building security.
