The 12-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 534 Jackson Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by David Oberlander, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, there were recurring pest infestations, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations in December 2024 documenting both roach and mice infestations in Apartment B. The building's exterior has faced serious structural concerns, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations (active as of 2022) citing issues such as cracked walls, eroded mortar joints, and spalled bricks, leading to substantial penalties totaling $50,000. These building facade problems prompted additional DOB violations regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. The building's history also shows persistent issues with basic maintenance, including door/window problems (both emergency and non-emergency), heat/hot water complaints, unsanitary conditions including pests, and various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests between 2020 and 2022.
Recent inspections and filings present a mixed picture of the building's maintenance status. While the most recent rodent inspection from August 2023 shows a passing result, there are still active building violations from 2024 regarding exterior maintenance and safety concerns, including inadequate lighting in the north fire passageway and issues with self-closing doors. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings showing zero infested units between 2022 and 2024. Permit records indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement work, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various repairs and improvements. Despite these efforts, the building's history of repeated violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
