424 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 20-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 424 13th Street in South Slope, owned by Steven Baker, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most recently, in June 2024, the building received multiple violations related to safety signage requirements, though these were subsequently closed. A significant ongoing concern is an open Class C violation from June 2024 regarding access to the building's heating system in the boiler room, which remains unresolved as of July 2025.

The building has also faced elevator-related issues, with two violations in 2021 and 2023 due to the lack of alternate service during outages, both resulting in Oath Violations. Between 2023 and 2024, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or required eradication efforts. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to infrastructure issues, including multiple active violations as of June 2023 concerning the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018-2020.

Recent complaints have included issues with a sidewalk shed (July 2023) and after-hours work (multiple instances in 2022), though most were resolved without penalties. Historical records from 1989 show past concerns with roof leaks and plaster damage in a specific unit, which were documented though now dated. The property has demonstrated compliance with various permit requirements, with multiple plumbing and electrical work permits issued between 2018-2019. While the building has experienced recurring issues with elevator service and safety compliance, particularly regarding heating system access and safety signage, the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years is notable.
