717 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 717 58th Street in Sunset Park has experienced recurring heating and water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in December 2023, there was a building-wide heat/hot water complaint that was closed without inspection access being granted. The building also faced structural concerns in 2022, with complaints about building shaking and structural stability that led to a Department of Buildings inspection.

While an Environmental Control Board violation was issued in 2022 for failure to submit an engineer's report regarding structural conditions, this was resolved without a penalty. The property has several active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2025, including issues related to building maintenance and safety requirements, such as missing door knobs, inadequate gas supply, and problems with self-closing doors in Apartment 10. There are also outstanding violations from 2022 regarding refuse accumulation in the front yard and multiple missing safety signage requirements.

The building's management has generally shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the last several filing periods from 2021 through 2025. A rodent inspection in February 2023 resulted in a passing grade. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation as of 2024 concerns failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation, which remains active.
