1131 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1131 Broadway in Bushwick, built in 1901 and currently owned by Joseph Aizer, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems. From November 2024 through April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with inspections often unable to gain access to apartments for verification.
Violation notices were issued in late 2024 for inadequate heat and hot water in the fourth-floor apartment, along with violations for mold (December 2024) and various heating system deficiencies. The building has experienced structural issues, with significant records from 2019-2023 showing concerns about exterior walls, including multiple violations regarding building walls and appurtenances, masonry deterioration, and a collapsed chimney requiring monitoring.
There was a period of building instability reported in 2020, though inspections in 2022-2023 showed repairs were completed under work permits. The property has also faced flooring issues, with violations documented in August 2024, and historical records show recurring rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. All recent bedbug reports from 2019-2025 show no infestations, and the building appears to have maintained compliance with rodent control measures in recent inspections, though there were multiple periods of rat activity noted between 2021-2023.
