12 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 12 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in March 2022, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting one or more apartments, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days.

In July 2021, multiple safety violations were documented in apartment 3A, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with self-closing doors - while these violations were certified as addressed by September 2021, they indicate past concerns with unit safety features. The building's environmental conditions appear to have been generally stable in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five filing periods from 2020 through 2025.

Additionally, the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing satisfactory results. A review of 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints shows relatively few incidents, suggesting that while there have been some maintenance issues, they have not been particularly frequent or severe. The building's owner has generally responded to complaints and violations in accordance with regulatory requirements, though some safety concerns in 2021 indicate there was a period requiring attention to basic safety systems.
