514 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 514 39th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Dominick Filocomo, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, along with appliance and plumbing concerns, some of which were classified as emergency situations. These recent issues follow a pattern established in July 2021, when multiple complaints about pests, along with other maintenance issues including door/window problems and general maintenance concerns, were documented but no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has also faced various violations and maintenance requirements, including two consecutive years (2022-2023) of failure to file mandatory bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2023-2024 indicate no infested units were reported. Other historical documentation shows a mix of resolved and open violations, including an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection records, and a remaining Class B violation from August 2021 concerning furniture encumbrance in a third-story public hall. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and inspections.

Between 2020 and 2025, the property has had various maintenance requirements including repairs to public hall ceilings, walls, and fire-retardant plaster, as well as work on the building's intercom system and security features. While some issues have been promptly addressed, as indicated by the "Closed" status of many complaints and violations, the recent cluster of complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property's rodent inspection history shows generally satisfactory results, with a passing inspection in 2021 following a previous failed inspection in 2011.
