868 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The three-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building at 868 Thomas S Boyland St in Brownsville, owned by Thomas Edwards, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The property, built in 1930, has open violations related to annual bedbug report filings for 2021-2024 and two active ECB violations from 2021 regarding electrical compliance issues with penalties totaling $3,750. In 2019, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, though no violations were ultimately issued in most cases.
A single unit (Apartment 3) had several documented problems in 2019, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water leak issues, and door-related concerns. The building's electrical systems have been under scrutiny, with multiple defective wiring complaints between 2019 and 2021, though inspections typically found no violations or resulted in Oath Violations being served. There were also concerns about building stability in March 2019.
Exterior maintenance issues were noted in October 2018, including problems with the skylight, roof door/hatch, and building entrance door. While some historical violations have been dismissed, including a 2019 boiler inspection issue and a 2024 low pressure inspection violation, the persistence of bedbug report and electrical equipment violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of both individual unit issues and building-wide system problems, particularly related to heating and electrical systems.
