588 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 588 Wyona Street in East New York, owned by Leo Meisels, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water system failures in late 2024, with at least eight separate complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between October and December 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While inspections generally confirmed restoration of services, this pattern indicates a potentially persistent infrastructure problem. The building also has several open violations as of 2025, including issues with a kitchen sink waste line in Apartment 3F, peeling paint in Apartment 3F, and a door problem in Apartment 2F, all documented in 2023.

The property has ongoing regulatory compliance issues, with five active violations related to External Low Pressure Inspection filings between 2019 and 2023, as well as an active building wall maintenance violation from 2020. Additionally, there was a concerning cluster of maintenance issues noted in early 2024, including problems with building entry doors, a missing vestibule door, and various obstructions in common areas, though many were subsequently resolved. A smoking complaint was reported and closed in mid-2025, and while there have been no recorded bedbug or rodent infestations in recent years (with inspections passing in 2011 and 2012), the building's maintenance history raises potential concerns about overall upkeep and responsiveness to resident needs.
