1169 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 38-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1169 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Claudette Henry, has experienced several concerning issues in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding fire escape safety (April and May 2025), intercom system problems (April and May 2025), and door/window maintenance issues.

The property has also faced significant violations in 2024, particularly in apartment 4G, including problems with a leaking roof affecting both the kitchen and another room's ceiling, broken ceiling plaster in the kitchen, and defective window guards. Apartment 2F has multiple open violations as of 2024, including issues with pests (mice and roaches), non-working smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detector problems. Additional maintenance concerns include a cooking gas issue reported in January 2025, electrical problems (no lighting) reported in February 2025, and various door-related complaints.

While the building has maintained a rodent-free status in recent inspections (2018-2023), it has had some history with rodent violations, including a failed inspection in 2014. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the last seven annual filings from 2019 to 2025, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place, at least for bedbugs. The building's inspection history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with many recent complaints resulting from tenants' failure to provide access for inspections or non-responsiveness to inspection requests.
