789 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 7-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 789 Flushing Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Mark Koplowitz and dating back to 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple fire escape safety violations, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025 resulting in violations.
The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by three separate complaints in early 2025 where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. There are also significant concerns regarding Unit 3R on the third floor, which has multiple open violations as of November 2024, including pest infestations (both mice and roaches), broken fixtures, defective windows, and various maintenance issues. The building's management has also failed to comply with several important safety regulations, as indicated by multiple active violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections dating back to 2018 through 2023, as well as recent fire escape issues.
Additional historical context reveals ongoing safety concerns dating back several years, including egress violations in 2018 and 2022 related to blocked exit pathways, while the building underwent two separate work permit investigations in March 2024, though no violations were found. While recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports from 2025 show no active infestations, the accumulation of open violations and recent service requests suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The property has also experienced various plumbing, door/window, and heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for proper evaluation.
