832 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement at 832 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Paul Dalmazio, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023 and 2025. As of June 2023, Apartment 19 was found to have mold problems in the bathroom ceiling, and roach infestation issues, with these violations remaining open as of the current date.

The building has also faced recurring sanitation challenges, most recently documented in May 2025 with garbage/recycling storage violations that resulted in HPD issuing violations. Other notable issues include a series of electrical problems in 2021 (including lighting failures), multiple complaints about doors (including a 2023 violation in Apartment 6 regarding self-closing doors), and various maintenance matters in 2022 including floor and wall problems. The building's history shows some progress in certain areas, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene passing inspections for rodent sightings in October 2024, and all previous bedbug reporting periods from 2019 through 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units.

A comprehensive set of violations was issued in 2023 concerning Apartment 4, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and peeling paint requiring renovation. While the building has undergone periodic inspections and some issues have been addressed, several violations remain open as of the current date, particularly those relating to sanitation and pest control. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting no affected units.
