300 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 300 12th Street in South Slope, owned by Margaret Brunn, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding various maintenance concerns, including plumbing problems in sinks and bathtubs, flooring issues, wall maintenance needs, and an unsanitary condition involving pests.

Notably, there was a water leak with heavy flow reported in April 2025 that resulted in violations being issued, along with electrical lighting concerns. The building has an ongoing set of open violations from October 2024 inspection of Apartment 16, including issues with plastered surfaces, a leaky roof, plumbing fixtures, and carbon monoxide detecting devices that require attention. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, though recent bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate no active infestations or re-infestations in the past six reporting periods, with only three units affected in 2017-2018.

A complaint regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring from 2019 also shows an inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The consistent pattern of service request closures due to lack of access for inspection, particularly in 2025, suggests potential difficulties in obtaining necessary maintenance verifications. While some issues have been resolved through inspections (like the April 2025 water leak), many recent complaints remain unresolved, and most recent complaints have required follow-up requests for proper inspection procedures to be completed.
