105 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building at 105 Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recent safety complaints in July 2024 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued. The building has a history of stair and flooring issues, with two complaints in late 2023 showing HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

There was a significant heat and hot water outage in April 2020 that was reportedly resolved quickly. Compliance inspections from 2023 revealed violations related to self-closing doors for both the basement fire door and compactor chute on the second story, though these were certified as corrected by December 2023. The building's pest management history shows some fluctuation, with bedbug reports indicating infestations in 2019-2020 (3 units), 2020-2021 (1 unit), and 2021-2022 (2 units), but no infestations reported in subsequent years (2022-2023 to present).

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing consistent passing results, though there were indications of rat activity noted in April 2023 and April 2024. The building's management has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including issues with window balances, closet doors, and an unauthorized air conditioning unit installation in 2020, all of which were eventually addressed. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections and maintained relatively current bedbug reporting compliance, the recurring nature of some safety and maintenance issues suggests ongoing operational challenges.
