47 South Elliott Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
This five-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building in Fort Greene, managed by Sanford Nager and constructed in 1914, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating and pest control. Most notably, in 2025, there were two heat/hot water complaints (April) and ongoing concerns about bee/wasp activity (October 2024) that remain unresolved. The building has faced multiple pest-related challenges, with six unsanitary pest condition complaints filed in late 2024, most in December, which were closed due to inspection access issues.
A significant number of rodent-related incidents were documented between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in March 2025 passed compliance requirements, suggesting some improvement in conditions. The property has also had several building safety concerns, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to fire safety. A July 2024 inspection revealed defective fire doors in the 3rd and 4th stories' public halls, while a June 2024 inspection identified issues with marble treads in the 1st-story stairs.
Other violations include a June 2024 issue with self-closing doors in the 1st story vestibule and the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notifications, though some of these violations have been closed through subsequent certification. The building's emergency systems faced scrutiny in December 2023, with violations noted for ceiling paint/plaster issues and smoke detector safety, though both were subsequently closed. While the property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent annual reports (2020-2024), the persistent issues with heat, pest management, and fire safety systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
