39 Newport Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

39 Newport Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Isaiah Emmanuel. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with documented complaints about lack of heat and hot water in both December 2020 and November 2021, though heat was reportedly restored following the 2020 incident.

The property is currently facing several open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations, dating back to 2021-2024, primarily related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. These violations stand alongside multiple historical violations from December 2020, which have since been closed, concerning notification requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and the availability of the agency's housing information guide - all of which were addressed and certified as corrected in March 2021. The building's maintenance history also reveals a rodent sighting complaint filed in March 2021 that remains unresolved as of October 2023, though previous inspections in October and November 2017 had resulted in passing grades.

While the building's documentation shows attention to administrative requirements in 2020-2021, the persistence of the bedbug report violation from 2021 through 2024, as well as the unresolved rodent complaint from 2021, warrant attention. The heating system problems, though historically recurring, appear to have been intermittently resolved, most recently in late 2021. The current open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing administrative oversight issues, though these do not directly indicate current health or safety concerns.
