10 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building at 10 Prospect Park SW in Windsor Terrace, owned by Joseph Norton, has been in operation since 1920. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with most concerning safety and basic maintenance requirements. The most recent housing maintenance code violation, recorded in March 2022, was related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any unit since at least 2018.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2021, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms (apartments 25, 29, and 30), carbon monoxide detector concerns (apartment 30), smoke detector problems (apartment 30), and various maintenance issues including deteriorated plaster and paint in apartment 25, and encumbrances in public areas. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show consistent compliance with no reported infestations. The Department of Buildings has documented two complaints: one in 2018 regarding plumbing issues which was found to be unsubstantiated, and a 2022 complaint about work without a permit which was also closed with no violations found.

A recurring issue appears to be encumbrances in public areas, with multiple violations noted in 2021 for items blocking hallways and stairways. While many of these violations have been resolved, several remain open as of the latest inspection records, particularly regarding building safety systems and maintenance requirements. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to compliance requirements, though there have been instances of delayed resolution that merit attention.
