520 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 520 39th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Maharanee Jhagroo and constructed in 1925, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with the most recent emergency heat/hot water complaint filed in December 2024. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages in both individual apartments and the entire building, with several instances where inspectors were unable to access units for verification.
The building also has a documented history of rodent infestations, particularly during 2022-2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and requiring bait applications. In addition to these issues, there have been various maintenance violations requiring attention, including security concerns with a broken front entrance lock noted in December 2024, and historical issues with building entrance doors and safety notices that have since been addressed.
While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 to present, all reports have indicated zero infested units during the filing periods. The property has been subject to regular inspections and has addressed most identified violations, though the recurring nature of heat and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
