58 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 58 16th Street in Gowanus, owned by Abraham Sandberg, has experienced recurring rodent issues over recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 consistently finding rat activity. The property has recorded multiple rat sightings and violations in 2025 (most recently in March and June), as well as similar issues in 2021, despite inspections and follow-up measures.
In addition to rodent problems, the building has had at least one concerning incident regarding cooking gas – a June 2022 emergency complaint to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. The building's history also includes a February 2024 complaint about illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access during the inspection attempts in 2024.
On a positive note, the property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2018 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units. While the building has faced various maintenance issues, the consistent focus has been on addressing rodent activity, with multiple inspections and service requests documenting this persistent problem.
