429 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 429 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Jose Fernandez, has experienced several notable events since 2012. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received an active violation from the Department of Buildings for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.

Currently, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this violation appears to be part of an ongoing pattern, as similar notices were issued and subsequently closed in 2023, 2022, and 2021. A significant incident occurred in October 2018 when complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building's record shows consistent rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent inspections in November 2019 and April 2019 both passing.

Prior inspections in 2012 - February and June - also showed no issues with rodent infestation. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three years, with the most recent filing period from November 2021 to October 2022 showing zero infested units, though this was followed by an April 2023 violation for failing to submit the required report for the previous year (2022-2023). While the building has generally passed rodent inspections, the recurring bedbug reporting violations and the recent open violation for the low-pressure inspection submission are notable concerns.
