AI summary · updated June 2026

The 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 195 Sumpter Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1906 and currently owned by Msm 404 Development Llc, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in January 2025, followed by electrical lighting and wall plaster issues in February 2025. Notably, there are three open violations from December 2024 inspections on the 4th story related to public hall maintenance, including issues with a loose light fixture, accumulation of household items and garbage bags, and defective fire retardant material at the ceiling, which are categorized as Class B violations. There are also significant ongoing violations from August 2024 related to apartment 4L involving water leakage, plaster surface damage, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all classified as Class B violations.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, as multiple complaints from 2024-2025 could not be inspected due to lack of access, including safety concerns about smoke detectors, and various maintenance issues. The property has had historical mechanical issues, with documented boiler violations in 2022 that resulted in a $3,125 penalty, though no bedbug or rodent infestations have been reported in recent years (with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 failing for "Other Reasons"). External building maintenance has also been a concern, with previous violations in 2020 regarding the building's stucco finish and structural integrity. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, there is no record of bedbug or rodent infestations in the past five years, suggesting some stability in pest-related issues.
