400 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 400 13th Street in South Slope, owned by Teodoro Maldonado, has several significant and recurring compliance issues on record between 2021 and 2024. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the HPD, as mandated by § HMC.

These violations remain open as of the latest inspection in April 2024, indicating an ongoing non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. In June 2025, a complaint was filed regarding work being conducted without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspection was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" and the complaint was subsequently closed the following day.

This closure suggests that the inspector could not verify the complaint within the building, but it also indicates a recent concern regarding unauthorized modifications or improvements to the property. The building, constructed in 1887, has maintained its original character as an Old Law Tenement, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations and most recent complaint about unauthorized work raise questions about the building's current maintenance and oversight practices.
