162 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
162 Sumpter Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Josh Augenbaum. The New Law Tenement building, constructed in 1909, is currently facing several maintenance challenges, with the most pressing issue being open violations as of July 2024 regarding fire safety requirements in the 3rd story public hall, specifically related to ceiling paint and repair needs.
A pest control violation has also been documented for apartment 3L on the 3rd story, indicating a roach infestation. The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water service issues, particularly notable in February 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding these essential services affecting various apartments and the entire building. Despite these recent challenges, the building has shown some positive trends in recent inspections.
All bedbug-related filings since 2021 have reported zero infestations, suggesting effective pest management, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating proper vermin control measures. Previous housing maintenance violations related to apartment safety features, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3R, were addressed and closed. While the building's systems have historically experienced various issues, including multiple failures of fire safety equipment and service interruptions, recent inspections show some improvement in overall maintenance compliance, though with notable exceptions regarding current open violations.
