266 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 266 45th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Hyman Schattner and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been recurrent problems with heat and hot water across the entire building, with three emergency complaints filed between February and May 2025, two of which resulted in violations, though one was found not to violate housing laws. Multiple flooring and stair complaints were submitted in June 2025, with HPD unable to complete inspections for several of these issues.
The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a water leak complaint in June 2025, and in June 2025, there was an electric power outage classified as an immediate emergency. The property has a documented history of maintenance violations and pest issues. In 2024, violations were issued for various issues in Apartment 1L, including problems with self-closing doors, vinyl tile flooring, and ceiling paint.
Health and safety violations were found in mid-2024 related to garbage disposal, refuse accumulation, and an infestation of mice in Apartment 1L. All these violations were subsequently closed, along with orders to post proper notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information in the building's common areas. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported since 2020, though there have been documented rodent activity inspections from 2019 and 2024 showing persistent rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 indicating the presence of rodents.
