2175 East 15th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 2175 East 15th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Brite Apts Co LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 1962. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2022, which was resolved shortly after tenant reporting.

In March 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint and plaster issues in ceilings and walls, as well as a water leak causing damp spots, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but no violations were issued. These issues were later addressed through the HPD's complaint resolution process in April 2019.

The building's infrastructure has undergone some scrutiny, with a boiler-related complaint filed in January 2021 and an illegal conversion complaint in November 2019, though inspections found no violations in both cases. On a positive note, consistent bedbug reporting from 2020 through December 2024 shows zero infestations or related issues in the building, with the property maintaining a clean record in this regard for over four years. The building's maintenance history, while showing some periodic issues requiring attention, demonstrates that most complaints have been addressed through proper channels, though the 2022 heating system failure represents the most significant recent concern as of July 2025.
