984 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 984 Carroll Street, owned by Felix Jnbaptiste and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning was a heating and hot water emergency in February 2022, which was resolved within 24 hours, though it marked the building's second heat-related incident in two years.

In October 2020, multiple emergency complaints were filed concerning plumbing issues (including problems with the toilet, bathtub/shower, and water supply), electric wiring concerns, and unsanitary mold conditions, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these cases. The building has consistent bedbug reporting violations, receiving Annual Bedbug Report violations from 2020 to 2024, though the most recent 2024 report shows no infested or previously infested units. Two significant safety violations were recorded in November 2020 regarding the building entrance door, requiring replacement of plexiglass with approved wire glass, with certification noting this was addressed in July 2024.

The property has maintained a strong rodent control record, passing all inspections from 2011 through early 2025, including the most recent February 2025 inspection. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations, most have been properly addressed, and the building's recent history (2024-2025) shows improvements in compliance, with no new major emergencies reported since the 2022 heating incident. The building's issues appear to be primarily historical rather than ongoing, though the pattern of multiple complaints in 2020 and heating problems in 2022 suggests some systemic maintenance challenges.
