708 Bristol Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 708 Bristol Street in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Moradeke Akingbade, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. The most notable problems occurred during late 2018, when there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints (five separate incidents between November 29 and December 8) that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These issues included inadequate heat supply and hot water problems in Apartment 1F, as well as concerns about access to the building's heating system. While some of these violations were eventually closed, two heating system access violations from December 2018 remain open as of the most recent inspection in 2024.

The building has also faced ongoing regulatory compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, with four open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code. More recent activity includes a plumbing permit issued in early 2019 and another permit issued in February 2025, indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. The building's documented history suggests recurring challenges with basic building systems and regulatory compliance, though specific details about the current condition or resolution of these issues beyond 2023 are not available in the provided data.
