549 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 549 39th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Celine Hau and constructed in 1924, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, though no further disposition has been recorded.

The building has consistently received violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2024, with the most recent violation in April 2024. While the recent bedbug reports filed in July 2024 show no infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units during the specified periods, the repeated violations indicate an ongoing administrative oversight issue. The property has a history of lighting and safety-related violations, including an open violation from April 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which remains unresolved.

In September 2018, multiple safety-related violations were documented and subsequently closed, including failures to properly post notices regarding housing information, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in the building's common areas. The building's only rodent inspection, conducted in March 2017, resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no current pest concerns from that category. Overall, while many violations have been resolved, there remain some ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and entrance lighting.
