The 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 683 Watkins Street in Brownsville, owned by Donette Washington and built in 1930, shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily concentrated between 2019 and 2023. Most recently, in September 2023, Apartment 2R received violations for inadequate kitchen lighting and pest infestations, specifically mice and roaches, though these violations were certified as addressed by October 2023.
The building experienced emergency electrical issues in September 2023, alongside documented problems with appliances, plumbing, and various maintenance concerns in 2019. The 2019 inspection revealed multiple issues in both Apartments 2R and 2F, including unsanitary conditions (pests), water leaks, mold, and various maintenance violations such as broken cabinet doors and improper door hardware in common areas.
The building's 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints show a consistent history of maintenance needs, though all documented issues have been officially closed. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug incidents, with no reported cases across six consecutive annual filings from 2018 through 2024.
