631 New Jersey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 631 New Jersey Avenue in East New York, owned by Urban Ross, has a significant and concerning pattern of housing maintenance violations over the past four years. Most notably, there have been recurring violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021.

While these violations may not directly indicate a current bedbug infestation, they reflect inadequate compliance with important housing maintenance requirements. The building, constructed in 1930, has a relatively good record of rodent control, having passed inspections in both June 2012 and April 2011, though these inspections occurred over a decade ago.

The absence of any other reported violations or incidents suggests that while the bedbug report compliance issue is notable, there have been no documented safety concerns or other maintenance violations in recent years. However, the pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years indicates an ongoing oversight of housing maintenance obligations that merits attention.
