903 Saratoga Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 903 Saratoga Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Gary Golding and constructed in 1930, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with inspection access being denied on multiple occasions.

The building has also faced recurring plumbing problems, including issues with radiators and bathtub/showers, as well as concerns about flooring and wall conditions, though many of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The most concerning ongoing issues appear to be concentrated in Apartment 2B, which has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from a December 2024 inspection, including problems with multiple radiators, kitchen cabinets, bathroom plaster and paint, as well as serious safety concerns regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Additionally, there are violations regarding pest infestation and water leak issues in this apartment. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of complaints about heat, hot water, and plumbing systems, though it is worth noting that no bedbug infestations have been reported in any unit in the past five years, with consistent reports showing zero affected units. While some violations have been certified as corrected, including a January 2025 inspection of unsanitary conditions, the persistence of open violations, particularly those affecting safety and comfort, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
