332 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 332 42nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Eugene Zhitkov, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025. Recent complaints from June 2025 include issues with window frames, door frames, pests, mold, and ceiling problems, all of which resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for proper evaluation.
Similar access issues were encountered with multiple complaints between March and April 2025 concerning plumbing, electrical wiring, flooring, and more. The building has a documented history of pest problems, as evidenced by three bedbug filings between 2022-2024 and C class violations for roach infestations in apartment 1C in March 2024, which had previously been cited for mold issues and water leak problems. The property has faced various infrastructure challenges over the years, including a notable Dept of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 regarding wall maintenance and another in 2019 concerning obstructed exit passageways, which resulted in penalties.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 1C, including problems with mold, water leaks, and various surface repairs. The building's bedbug history shows varying infestation levels, with the most recent reports from late 2024 indicating continued pest management challenges. While rodent inspections show some improvement, with a pass in 2018 following previous activity concerns in 2011, the building's overall maintenance record suggests persistent challenges with various building systems and pest management that require ongoing attention.
