445 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 445 16th Street in South Slope, owned by Ana Sanches, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Between 2022 and early 2023, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, with four emergencies recorded between January 2023 and February 2022, though inspections typically found no violations or that heat was not required at the time of inspection.
More concerning are the open housing maintenance code violations from 2023 in apartment 4R, including issues with radiator safety handles and air valves, as well as multiple health and safety concerns documented in December 2022 involving pest infestations (roaches and mice), missing smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detecting devices. The building has also faced challenges with pest management, evidenced by multiple rodent sightings in 2021 and 2022, with inspections confirming rat activity. A thorough inspection in late 2019 revealed various maintenance issues including problems with flooring, plumbing (radiator), appliance (electric/gas range and refrigerator), electrical lighting, and wall conditions.
The property currently has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2023 and periodic issues with the building's self-closing doors. A Department of Buildings violation regarding a missed low-pressure inspection was dismissed in early 2025. While there have been periods of concern regarding bedbug infestations between 2019-2020, recent filings show no infested units, though this period coincided with COVID-19 restrictions that limited bedbug inspections citywide.
