1047 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 1047 Thomas S Boyland St in Brownsville, owned by Pauline Hall Ali and built in 1930, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2019. The building experienced multiple uncategorized complaints in June 2019, including reports of mold, cooking gas problems, and various unsanitary conditions, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these issues.

Prior to that, between April and May 2019, there were several complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, and issues with wall and ceiling paint/plaster, with some violations being issued during inspections. The building's maintenance records also reveal persistent mold concerns, particularly in 2019 when violations were noted in Apartment 1R regarding approximately 3 square feet of mold around the bathroom window frame, which appeared to be upgraded to Class B status. More recent records show regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2022-2024, with no infested units reported in any of the three filings.

Current violations from 2024 show the building was required to file annual bedbug reports as per HPD rules, while previous violations from 2019 indicated various maintenance concerns including problems with bathroom fixtures, closet doors, and painting requirements specifically in Apartment 1R. While the building experienced significant maintenance issues in 2019, the more recent absence of reported infestations and the completion of bedbug reporting requirements suggests improved compliance with some housing maintenance codes. However, it's notable that many of the 2019 complaints resulted in closures without inspections being performed, with the agency advising tenants to refile if the problems persisted.
