538 Bainbridge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 538 Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Berish Rubin, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, the building faced several concerning problems, including violations related to electrical outages, plumbing issues with a sink, and ceiling damage in Apartment 1R.
The building has also generated numerous emergency complaints and violations in late 2024 regarding safety systems, including fire escape concerns, carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, and pest control problems. Active violations remain outstanding for 2018-2023 external low-pressure inspections, and a 2024 incident involving missing decorative stone on the building's exterior resulted in a $625 penalty. Earlier maintenance issues include multiple complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions in mid-2024, along with various housing code violations across different apartments.
The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2015-2022, with some inspections showing rat activity. The heating system was directly addressed in November 2022, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2022-2025). Recent building inspections and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges with both the building systems and interior conditions, though some violations from earlier periods have been resolved.
