276 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

276 New Jersey Avenue is a 7-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Mhany 2015 Owners, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past five years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2020-2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in November 2023, there was another heat/hot water complaint that was promptly addressed.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including water leaks and interior repair needs. A significant cluster of violations was noted in November 2020, particularly affecting the 4th floor apartment related to water leaks and paint/plaster issues. Historical inspection records from 2018 documented various safety and maintenance concerns, including electrical outlet and ventilation fan problems in the 4th floor bathroom, loose elements in public areas, and door security issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat system problems, with at least eight documented complaints between 2020-2023.

Additional violations include a 2023 DOB violation related to the failure to file 2019 external low pressure inspection records, which remains active. However, on a positive note, recent bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show zero infestations, and a rodent inspection from 2012 resulted in a passing score. The building has undergone some permitted work, as evidenced by permits issued in 2018 for unspecified electrical and plumbing work. While the building complies with bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained a rodent-free status in recent years, the recurring heat system issues and historical maintenance challenges suggest ongoing building system and maintenance needs.
