44 Meserole Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 44 Meserole Avenue building, a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1934, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heating systems and electrical infrastructure. Most notably, as of 2024, there are open violations including inadequate heat supply in apartment 1L, mold issues in bathroom 1L, and several infrastructural problems such as defective boiler room doors, broken fire-retardant plaster in the public hall, and a missing metal cover at the cellar drain.

The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2021 and 2024. Electrical problems have also been frequent, with multiple complaints about lighting and outlet issues in 2024, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued. Additional concerns include an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding sealed exit passageways in apartments 1L and 1R (with a $6,250 penalty), and a plumbing complaint from June 2025 suggesting ongoing maintenance issues.

Historical records show a pattern of rodent activity between 2011-2013, though it appears these issues were addressed through regular bait applications. The property has also faced scrutiny regarding its bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations from both 2023 and 2024. While many past complaints have been resolved or closed, the building continues to demonstrate significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and general habitability conditions in unit 1L.
