250 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 250 Ridgewood Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Dovovan Hyde and constructed in 1901, is currently experiencing significant plumbing issues as evidenced by multiple recent complaints. Between late November and early December 2024, at least three separate water supply complaints were filed, with one remaining as an open building-wide condition and another resulting in an unsuccessful HPD inspection attempt.

These plumbing problems follow a concerning pattern, as the building has recorded multiple water supply-related emergency complaints within the past year. The property has also maintained an open pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations over recent years, specifically regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to submit the required annual bedbug report.

Additionally, a series of violations from March 2020 indicate non-compliance with various safety and notification requirements, including missing smoke detector requirement notices, heating system keyholder information, building registration display, inspection certificate display, gas leak procedures, and housing information guide availability notices, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining proper building code compliance. While earlier rodent inspections from 2012 and 2017 were passed, the recent water supply issues and multiple unresolved violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges in the building's current condition.
