1299 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 31-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1299 Eastern Parkway, owned by Jay Lubin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between January and May 2025, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water problems, with several complaints remaining open due to lack of access for inspections. Additionally, there have been two recent complaints about mold (May 2025 & March 2025), though one was closed without violations being found.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024, including issues with inadequate heat (notably in apartment 4A), hot water (apartments 3B and 2A), and pest infestations (mice and roaches in apartment 4A). The property has maintained a consistent record of reporting zero bedbug infestations since 2019, though pest control issues have persisted in other forms. Historical records show some improvement over the years, with the most recent Department of Buildings environmental violation from May 2018 being resolved without penalties.

The building's infrastructure has faced various challenges, including a locked boiler room access violation noted in December 2024. Despite these issues, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five years, and a rodent inspection from March 2017 resulted in a passing grade. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices over the years, with most being resolved or closed properly, though some recent heat and water issues remain a concern as of May 2025.
