122 33rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 122 33rd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Krzysztof Rostek and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations (mice and roaches) particularly affecting Apartment 2R, plumbing issues including toilet problems, and floor maintenance concerns.

Of particular concern, as of May 2024, there are open violations regarding smoke detector requirements in the first-story public hall, and several unresolved issues from 2024 requiring inspections that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access. The building also has three active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from June 2023 regarding failures to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2020, and 2021, though an illegal conversion complaint from October 2023 was closed due to the inspector's failure to gain access.

The property has shown a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency maintenance needs, particularly between June and September 2024, with issues including heavy water leaks, ceiling problems, and flooring concerns. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015 to 2019, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (with zero infested units reported in the last five annual filings), the recent history of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. It's worth noting that several complaints from 2024 remain unresolved due to lack of access for inspection purposes, and while multiple complaints were inspected in June 2024 with no violations found, the pattern of repeated service requests suggests persistent maintenance challenges.
