654 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The six-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement at 654 St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Kenneth Rosenblum, has experienced notable issues with its heating system in early 2024, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed by residents and subsequent violations issued for inadequate heat supply in apartment 6C. The building's elevator system also faced documented problems in 2022, receiving a violation for misaligned cab mirror, damaged floor, expired brake maintenance tag, and access issues, though this appears to have been resolved.
While the majority of maintenance issues from 2012-2020 have been addressed, including repairs to various apartments' fixtures and infrastructure, there remain two active Department of Buildings violations from 2020 and 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years, with all recent filings showing zero affected units. A safety inspection in 2021 regarding smoke detectors resulted in no violations.
The building has undergone regular housing maintenance inspections and has generally responded to violations, with most being certified as resolved. Recent complaints have primarily centered on heating issues, which represent the most significant ongoing maintenance concern as of early 2024. The property has demonstrated good overall maintenance practices in recent years, with particular attention to keeping unit numbers and historical violations properly documented and addressed.
