The three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1302 Decatur Street in Bushwick, owned by Victor Pugo, has a construction date of 1907 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in March 2024. The building underwent multiple maintenance requests in 2020, including plumbing issues affecting water supply and toilet facilities, window frame concerns, and various problems with wall and ceiling surfaces. These maintenance issues were generally addressed, though some resulted in violations. A notable cluster of violations was documented in July 2020, particularly in Apartment 1F, including issues with mold (approximately 10 square feet), problems with plastered surfaces, painting requirements, and concerns regarding an unauthorized interior partition. The building has remained under regular inspection, with rodent inspections passing consistently between 2012-2025, indicating effective pest management. While there have been bedbug reporting requirements from 2018-2022, the most recent report from 2022 indicated no infested or re-infested units. The property currently has open violations related to bedbug reporting from 2022-2024, and an open violation from 2020 regarding plaster and paint repairs in Apartment 1F. Outside lighting maintenance requirements from 2018 also remain open.
