401 Woodbine Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 401 Woodbine Street in Bushwick, owned by Ramona Crespo and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were emergency complaints regarding door and electrical issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections. Earlier in 2025, there was a temporary heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building that was reportedly resolved before inspection.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with similar complaints recorded in 2019. Between 2022 and 2023, the building faced rodent-related concerns, with multiple reports including three in August 2022, though subsequent inspections showed passing results, including a recent April 2025 inspection that passed. The building's maintenance records show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations during these periods.

The property has also been subject to two Important Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years, both issued in 2019 and 2021, related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and two violations regarding gas leak and carbon monoxide detector notice requirements that were certified as corrected in January 2020. While some of these issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems and the ability to access units for inspections, the most recent records show improved compliance with pest reporting requirements and passing results for rodent inspections. The building's documented history reflects a mixture of persistent system-related complaints, particularly regarding heat and hot water, as well as periodic pest-related issues, though recent records suggest some improvement in overall maintenance compliance.
