362 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 362 49th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Maria Serrano, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, with the most significant issues occurring in 2024. The property, built in 1923, is currently facing multiple open violations in apartment 1R, including active pest infestations (roaches), water leaks in both the bathroom and kitchen, and missing window guards - all classified as Class B and C violations.

The building has also experienced recurring pest-related complaints, with five separate reports in September 2024 alone, though inspections varied between confirming violations and being unable to gain access for proper evaluation. Previous issues include problems with building security features, with multiple open violations from April 2024 related to self-closing doors at the main entrance and vestibule, and an outstanding citation from July 2024 regarding the lack of proper signage for the heating system keyholder.

There were also electrical concerns earlier in 2024, including a power outage and lighting issues, though these complaints were closed with no violations found. While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2024 shows no recorded infestations, the current pest management situation indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed rodent inspections, most recently in 2011, suggesting some aspects of building maintenance are being managed appropriately, though recent violations indicate more attention is needed to address current conditions.
