1138 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1138 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Claire Nicholls and built in 1910, has a concerning pattern of unresolved violations and maintenance issues spanning several years. Most notably, the building has accumulated five consecutive annual violations (2019-2024) for failing to file the required bedbug reports as per HPD regulations.
Additionally, there are multiple unresolved violations from November 2019 related to safety concerns in the building's common areas, including defective electrical light fixtures, damaged plaster in the second-story public hall, and maintenance issues with the ceiling and walls requiring painting with light-colored paint. There was also a documented water leak complaint in late 2019 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues.
As of April 2024, there remains at least one active violation regarding the bedbug report filing requirement, though the current status of the other historical violations is not explicitly stated in the available data. While the building has been standing for over a century, the persistent nature of these violations suggests ongoing maintenance oversight issues.
