921 Mother Gaston Boulevard is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building in Brownsville, built in 1930 and currently owned by Walpert Powell. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, most notably in late 2023 when multiple heat and hot water complaints were received, showing a pattern of temperature control problems. There were also multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations, particularly in October and November 2023, with at least one emergency complaint filed regarding this issue.

Housing Maintenance Code inspections from November 2023 revealed multiple open violations in apartment 2F, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, lead-based paint hazards, and various safety concerns such as defective window guards, smoke detectors, and self-closing doors. While some violations from earlier inspections were marked as closed, a notable violation remains open regarding the annual bedbug report requirement. The building's maintenance history shows a cluster of complaints and violations between October and November 2023, including issues with flooring, ceilings, and walls requiring paint and plaster work.

Inspections conducted during this period resulted in both emergency and non-emergency classifications, indicating varying degrees of urgency for the addressed issues. The property has generally had a consistent pattern of requiring basic maintenance attention, particularly in the areas of heating systems, pest control, and general safety features, though it's worth noting that no violations were issued in response to several complaints that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The most recent inspection from April 2024 shows an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report requirement, suggesting some ongoing compliance monitoring needs.
