844 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The two-story, four-unit NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 844 41st Street in Borough Park, owned by Thomas Cordasco, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, between December 2020 and February 2021, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with multiple emergency service requests filed through HPD.

During this period, the building also experienced a power outage in January 2021 and water supply issues in one apartment (1F) that were later addressed. The building received several housing maintenance violations in 2021, including requirements to provide adequate heat and hot water supply, resolve a broken glass issue at the vestibule door, and ensure access to the heating system in the basement. More recent inspections in 2022-2023 showed some additional concerns, primarily related to administrative compliance.

Two separate violations were issued in 2022 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, and there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspector was unable to gain access. However, the bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2023 shows no infestations, with all units reporting as free of bedbug issues during the past three annual reporting periods. The building has also had periods of inspections where no violations were found, including a January 2021 inspection of electrical and plumbing issues, and it has been compliant with addressing various code violations as evidenced by their "closed" status in the violation records.
