Questions about this building

Does 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn had 108 open violations on September 27, 2026: 106 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 46 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 10 years, since December 14, 2015.

Is 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 15 new Class C against 4 certifications filed in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 7 Class C violations: 4 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program?

Yes. In HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program since February 2, 2026. HPD puts a group of buildings with serious, long-running violations into the program each year. While a building is in it, HPD can make repairs itself and charge the cost to the property, and the building stays in until HPD discharges it.

Does 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on January 14, 2027. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Is 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened November 1, 2018. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed April 8, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 7 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $7,462 in total. The most recent of the 7, a general construction order, was opened November 25, 2025. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Is 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1930 as the year 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 6 residential units at 1968 Strauss Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, OATH hearing dates, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, OATH hearing dates, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
