2827 West 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

This three-story, five-unit old law tenement building located at 2827 West 15th Street in Coney Island, owned by Javed Iqbal and constructed in 1930, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most pressing current concerns, as of November 2024, include electrical problems (no lighting) and heating issues (lack of heat/hot water) that were classified as emergencies but could not be properly inspected due to access issues. Numerous other complaints from September 2024 regarding electrical systems, plumbing, sanitation (pests), and general building maintenance also faced inspection access challenges, though some were investigated without violations being found.

The building has three open violations from March 2024 related to water damage, fire safety, and building maintenance in the first-floor public hall area, along with several serious access and safety violations from January 2024 concerning smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and gas leak procedures that remain unresolved. Historically, the building's records show patterns of maintenance challenges, including a significant electrical system failure, heating problems, and pest issues, particularly evident in the clustering of complaints during 2024. A fire escape safety complaint was recorded in January 2024 as an emergency but has since been closed.

The building also has three open violations from March 2024 regarding water damage, fire safety, and building maintenance in the first-floor public hall area, and an ongoing violation from April 2024 requiring an annual bedbug report submission. Records show that in 2019 there was an investigation into an illegal conversion, though access was not granted for inspection. Additionally, rodent inspections conducted in 2011 show mixed results, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons, though subsequent inspections passed.
