719 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The property at 719 East New York Avenue is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building in East Flatbush, built in 1923 and currently owned by Barbara Daniels. The building has experienced several concerning events in recent years, most notably a cluster of sewage odor complaints in March 2024, which required multiple interventions from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in an advisory to the property management.

More recently, in April 2025, there was a rat sighting reported, though this was investigated and found to have no violations upon inspection. The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2023, including issues with self-closing doors in the first-story public hall and unsecured bricks under an air conditioner on the second story, though these violations were certified as closed on April 28, 2023. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with no infestations reported in the past five filing periods from 2021 through 2025.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing, while an initial inspection in 2016 failed for unspecified reasons. A complaint regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway was filed in September 2022 but was closed with no violation warranted upon inspection. While the building has had several health and safety-related incidents, particularly regarding air quality and pests, it has also demonstrated compliance with various inspections and reporting requirements, with prompt response to most complaints and violations.
