671 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 671 48th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Mike Psaras, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently, there have been two notable incidents in early 2025 and late 2023 where HPD responded to complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, but was unable to gain access for inspection.

These heating system problems have been recurring, with similar complaints documented in 2020, 2019, and 2018, though in some earlier cases, tenants reported that the heat and hot water had been restored prior to inspection. The building has also faced regulatory challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. HPD issued two violations in 2021 and 2022 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for the periods 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 indicate no infestation issues, with zero infested units reported in each case.

The property has an expected bedbug reporting requirement for the period of 2023-2024. Despite these concerns, the building has maintained a consistent record of responding to and resolving housing maintenance complaints, with all documented violations being marked as closed. While the heat and hot water issues are significant, the building's recent bedbug reporting history shows no current infestations.
