217 50th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 217 50th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Michelle De La Uz and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heating and water issues throughout 2024. The most recent complaints, logged in October 2024, include both ceiling damage and water leakage problems, particularly affecting Apartment 1L, where violations were issued requiring repairs to the ceiling and bathroom walls.

Notably, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues in 2024, with five separate incidents reported between February and August 2024 involving the entire building, though some had reportedly been resolved by the time of inspection. Additional maintenance concerns have included a door/window issue affecting the building entrance, for which violations were issued in April 2024. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reports filed between 2019 and 2024 indicating zero infestation incidents during these periods.

A 2018 zoning complaint was filed but closed due to insufficient information. While the building has had various violations over recent years, particularly in 2024, there appears to be ongoing management response to address these issues, with several violations closing after repairs were made, though some remain open as of the latest inspection. The property's documented history suggests particular attention should be paid to heating system reliability, as multiple complaints indicate this has been a recurring issue affecting tenant comfort.
