506 Warren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 506 Warren Street in Gowanus, owned by Avraham Garbo and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent plumbing and water-related issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there were multiple water supply complaints in March 2025, and the building faced several plumbing and water supply issues in 2022, particularly affecting Apartment 4B. The building has also encountered recurring heating system problems, with both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2025.
Recent inspections have revealed maintenance concerns, including the need for roof repairs to prevent water damage in Apartment 4B and issues with building entrance door self-closing mechanisms. The property has documented several safety violations, including emergency complaints regarding door/window security and smoke detector functionality in June 2025. Previous violation records from 2024-2025 show issues with building access to heating systems and bicycle-related encumbrances in public areas.
The building has a history of rodent activity, with inspection results indicating "Rat Activity" in 2010/2011 and periods of failed inspections in 2012. While bedbug reports have been filed annually since 2020, the most recent three years (2022-2024) show no documented infestations. A construction-related complaint was recorded in 2023 for work outside approved plans, resulting in an Oath Violation, and there was a structural stability complaint in 2018, though both were eventually resolved.
