102 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 102 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, owned by Maria Estrella, was constructed in 1920 and contains 3 residential units. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with multiple violations occurring in 2023. These include problems with fire safety (defective fire-retardant ceiling and wall in the third-story public hall), door safety (defective self-closing doors in 3FL and 1FL apartments), and various maintenance issues affecting different parts of the building.

Notably, there was an accumulation of oil in the boiler room, roof leaks affecting public hall areas, and concerns about a padlockable slide bolt in the 1FL entrance. The building has also undergone some concerning safety modifications, including the installation of slide bolts at windows and an illegal gate, though these violations were marked as closed following required corrections. The property has a documented history of attempted enforcement actions regarding illegal conversion, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints between late 2018 and early 2019, though access was not granted during inspections.

In April 2019, two ECB violations were issued related to unauthorized construction work in the basement and illegal conversion, with monetary penalties imposed ($1,250 and $2,500 respectively) which have since been resolved. More recently, rodent activity has been confirmed in 2025 inspections, following a period of passed inspections in 2022-2024. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), and the property has passed multiple rodent inspections in previous years, suggesting some attention to pest control. Recent permit activity includes plumbing and electrical work permits issued in 2019 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the current ownership.
