574 Georgia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, four-unit "New Law Tenement" building at 574 Georgia Avenue in East New York, owned by Marie Stiven and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, Apartment 1F has had persistent problems with pests, mold, and maintenance violations; most recently documented in December 2022 with open violations for pest infestations (mice and roaches), mold conditions, bathroom ceiling issues, and a broken kitchen cabinet.

The building has faced multiple service requests related to heat and hot water issues in 2020-2021, with at least one complaint resulting in an emergency response, though tenants reported restoration of services. The property has also had recurring issues with unsanitary conditions and electrical problems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints in 2022, including emergency calls for no lighting and non-emergency complaints regarding cabinets and pests. While the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2025, with no reported infestations during this period, there have been three separate Bedbug Reports filed between 2022-2024 indicating "0" infested or eradicated units.

The most recent violations from 2024 include failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though previous filings from 2020-2023 indicated no infestations. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections, with the last recorded inspection in 2012 showing compliance. While some violations from 2022 have been closed, as of October 2023, there remain open violations related to the apartment's condition, though there appears to have been some remediation progress based on subsequent inspections.
