604 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 21-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 604 Bristol Street in Brownsville, owned by Omari Forrester and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in February 2025, which HPD could not inspect due to lack of access.
Multiple violations were issued following a housing inspection in January 2025, including issues with walls, windows, and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests. The building's condition has been consistently problematic, with emergency violations for mold and window frames in October 2024, and plumbing issues involving toilets. The property has several open violations from an October 2024 inspection, primarily affecting apartment 2B, including concerns about floor repairs, window issues, and lead paint hazards in the kitchen.
Additionally, there are active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years from 2023-2024. While the building has maintained a pest-free record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2024, it did experience some rodent issues in 2015, with one inspection showing failed compliance. The frequency and nature of recent violations, particularly relating to heat, mold, and window conditions, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
