593 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 593 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Christopher Bramwell, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water and mold problems. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a closed complaint about a slow water leak that HPD inspectors could not access for inspection. In March 2025, there were two complaints regarding water-related issues (including a damp spot and mold) which resulted in inspections, with one violation issued.

Earlier complaints from 2024 indicated issues with paint/plaster conditions in the ceilings of both bathrooms and kitchen in apartment 2A, for which violations were issued and later certified as corrected. The building had significant heating issues in December 2022, with multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water affecting both the entire building and specific apartments, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being found. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual filings since 2019 showing no infested units, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections, most recently in December 2019.

The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and unresolved issues, with particular attention needed to the pattern of water-related problems. Between 2022 and 2025, multiple water-related complaints have been documented, including leaks and unsanitary conditions. While some previous violations have been corrected (such as the paint/plaster issues), the building continues to experience moisture-related problems, as evidenced by the most recent complaints.
