2126 East 15th Street is a 2-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1927 and currently owned by Christos Kakoulas. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems emerging in 2024, including water leaks and ceiling damage in Apartment 1R, both classified as emergency violations. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with at least one building-wide heating problem reported in November 2022.

Two separate complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions were filed in October 2022, though these were closed without inspection access. Safety concerns have also been documented, including problems with smoke detectors in both 2022 and 2024, though inspections in 2022 found no violations. The building has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices over the past two years.

In June 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1R, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, plaster and paint damage, and smoke detector problems, though these were certified as corrected by July 2024. Additional building-wide concerns were noted in late 2023 regarding brick and mortar conditions on the front facade and encumbrances in public hallways. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero units reported as infested in the past four annual reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. A work without permits complaint was filed and closed without violation in February 2025.
