2015 Stillwell Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building at 2015 Stillwell Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Alessandro Temperino, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there are active Environmental Control Board violations from August 2024 relating to unauthorized construction work in the first-floor commercial space, including new wood studs, sheetrock walls, ceiling work, electrical installations, and bathroom renovations, along with allegations of tampering with a Stop Work Order. These violations carry penalties of $2,530 each.

The building also has an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains open as of July 2025. The property has a documented history of maintenance code violations between 2021 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent violation occurring in March 2023. However, the subsequent annual bedbug filings from 2023 through 2024 show zero reported infestations, indicating resolution of this particular compliance issue.

Earlier concerns included two separate complaints in January 2021 regarding defective or inoperative boiler issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access during these visits. More recent complaints from 2024 included illegal after-hours work and work contrary to a Stop Work Order, though these issues seem to have been addressed, as indicated by the July 2024 response stating the Stop Work Order was fully rescinded. The building's documented history suggests ongoing compliance challenges with building regulations, though recent bedbug reporting indicates improved compliance in that specific area.
