419 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story residential building at 419 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Nadav Kauderer, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2019. During that year, multiple complaints were filed regarding ventilation systems, plumbing (specifically sink issues), and cabinets, with violations issued for the cabinet problem.

There were also concerning reports of mold and heating/hot water issues, though in some cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected areas to verify the problems. A particularly concerning set of violations was recorded in June 2019 for the first-floor apartment (1F), including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a defective kitchen sink base cabinet, and evidence of rodent and insect infestations in the kitchen, though some of these violations were subsequently closed. The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with all recent filings indicating zero infested units.

The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 covered the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing no infestations during that time. While the building faced significant maintenance challenges in 2019, it is worth noting that the most recent housing maintenance code violations from April 2024 relate solely to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, which is considered a Class A violation but indicates the building has no current critical safety issues. The property passed its initial rodent inspection in August 2012, and there have been no recorded rodent-related complaints since that time.
