50 Avenue B, a 6-story 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Arik Lifshitz, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints and emergency responses from 2023 through 2025, including complaints about lack of heat/hot water for the entire building in October 2023, October 2024, and December 2024. Water-related issues have also been persistent, with multiple violations issued in October 2024 for both slow and damp leaks.

In late 2023 through 2024, there was a notable pest management challenge, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, with some violations issued. The building's Unit 5B received several violations in October 2024, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, various damaged surfaces, and an active violation regarding mouse infestation. Recent inspections show some improvement, with rodent inspections in 2025 passing, following a series of failed and rat activity results in 2022-2023.

The building has a history of 311 complaints indicating various issues, including a recent smoking incident in early 2025 and a food poisoning complaint in 2024. Building systems have been subject to enforcement actions, including two ECB violations in 2020 related to construction activity during COVID-19 restrictions, and a 2022 violation concerning the building's maintenance.

A bedbug infestation was reported in 2024, marking the first such issue in several years, though it was reportedly eradicated.
