AI summary · updated June 2026

The five-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building at 426 Audubon Avenue, owned by Viannette Carvellas, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent problems with heat and hot water, with the most recent complaints documented in April 2025, marking the third such incident in the past two-and-a-half years. The building has also faced multiple inspection requests in late 2024 regarding unsafe conditions, including mold, which resulted in open violations in Apartment 4F related to environmental hazards, while separate problems with window frames and appliances were also reported. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance.

The property has undergone periodic bedbug checks between 2018-2024, showing minimal infestation history with only one documented case in 2021, which was promptly resolved. In late 2024, multiple violations were cited in Apartment 4F regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold conditions, and various repair needs including water leak issues and damaged plastered surfaces. These violations were subsequently addressed by January 2025, along with other maintenance issues documented in January 2025. The building's Department of Buildings complaints from 2023 and multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, records indicate that most reported problems have been addressed, though some violations remained open as of October 2023.
