45 Hinsdale Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 45 Hinsdale Street in East New York, owned by Nefera Croom and constructed in 1901, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues reported, with three emergency complaints between April and December 2024, including one in late December 2024 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced significant unsanitary conditions, particularly in Apartment 3, where inspections in May 2024 revealed multiple violations including a current open violation for a roach infestation, mold issues, water leaks, and various maintenance needs such as repairs to door frames, plastered surfaces, and the roof. During 2024, there were also several complaints about pests, with at least one resulting in violations being issued. While some issues have been addressed and closed, multiple violations remain open as of early 2025.

While historical data shows the building passed rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2016, there were no bedbug infestations reported between November 2021 and October 2022. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly affecting Apartment 3, which has the most documented violations and complaints. The property is required to address the current open violations as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements, though specific resolution timelines may vary.
