1317 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1317 Union Street in Crown Heights, owned by Joel Fekete, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Multiple housing maintenance complaints and violations were recorded between January and April 2024, including problems with water leaks, mold, heating systems, and various issues related to paint/plaster conditions.
The building underwent inspections that led to Class A and B violations for conditions requiring repairs and proper maintenance, particularly in the 4th-story public hall areas and Apartment 4 on the 2nd story. The building's heating system was notably involved in an emergency complaint in April 2024, and there were multiple instances of unauthorized work complaints in early 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The property has maintained an active rodent control program, with multiple bait applications recorded in late 2022 through 2023, with the most recent inspections showing improvement with passed results in early 2025 and February 2024.
Notably, the building has shown a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with most recent violations being addressed by May 2024, including roof repairs and fire retardant material concerns in the 4th-story public hall. While many of the 2024 complaints resulted in no violations being found, there were several instances where violations were issued, particularly related to water leaks, radiator problems, and various paint/plaster maintenance issues requiring attention.
