469 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement at 469 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Pennsylvania Avenue Associates, L.P., has experienced significant ongoing heating and hot water issues throughout 2025. Between April 5 and April 10, 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, resulting in HPD inspections. While some complaints were closed with inspections conducted, others had access issues, requiring tenants to file new complaints if problems persisted.

An inspection in December 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 4A, including peeling paint, a mold condition, and inadequate hot water supply, though these were certified as corrected by early 2025. Additional violations were noted in apartments 4B and 4C, including issues with plastered surfaces, mold, and a defective entrance door, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases in the most recent inspection period (2024-2025) and consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units in previous years.

Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017 also indicate successful pest management, with all inspections passing. However, the recent pattern of heating and hot water complaints, particularly during the 2025 period, suggests persistent infrastructure challenges affecting resident comfort. The building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and historical rodent control success demonstrates attention to certain maintenance aspects, though the recent heat and hot water issues indicate some areas may require closer monitoring.
