The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 38 Dikeman Street in Red Hook, owned by Philip Riley and built in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. The property has ongoing open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, while building systems and safety features are under scrutiny due to multiple open violations from January 2020, including inadequate public hall lighting, defective fire retardant materials on the west wall, required repainting of the same wall, and missing safety notifications regarding the heating system. During January 2020, the building faced various maintenance issues, including problems with doors/windows, ventilation systems, and flooring/stairs, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints filed through 311. Additionally, there were reports of water leaks and mold, although HPD inspections in early 2020 found no violations related to these specific complaints. The property has shown compliance with bedbug management in its 2021 report, indicating zero infested or eradicated units and no re-infestations during the specified period. The most recent housing violation data from April 2024 suggests that the building still has pending issues related to bedbug reporting compliance, though no new violations have been recorded since 2020.
