125 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 6-story, 51-unit New Law Tenement building at 125 Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights, built in 1923 and currently owned by Ashley Schloemer, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently four open violations from August 2024 in Apartment 3F relating to mold, multiple plaster/paint issues, and defective doors.

The building has had recurring problems with electrical, plumbing, and water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints throughout 2024-2025, including a December 2024 electrical outlet/switch violation that required HPD inspection and resulted in violations being issued. Other significant concerns include a heat/hot water complaint in November 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification and multiple paint/plaster violations noted by HPD inspections. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, with mixed results including periods of rat activity in early 2021, though the most recent inspections have passed.

The building's maintenance history shows regular permit activity for various repairs and improvements, with multiple permits issued for work including plumbing and electrical maintenance between 2019 and 2023, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building systems. The building appears to have maintained a pest-free environment in recent years, with no bedbug reports filed since 2020, and consistent rodent inspections passing since mid-2021, though there were issues with rat activity in 2019-2021 that required bait application. While the building has active violations and past maintenance issues, regular inspections and permit activity indicate continued management attention to building maintenance, though some violations from 2024 remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
