101 Weldon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 28-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 101 Weldon Street in Cypress Hills, built in 1927 and currently owned by Jahleal LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from late 2024 through early 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with at least six separate incidents reported between December 2024 and February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) struggled to gain access for inspections during many of these complaints.

More recently, in February 2025, there was an access issue regarding a flooring/stairs complaint that remains unresolved. The building has also faced maintenance violations in 2024, including issues with garbage/recycling storage, as well as problems with the D1 apartment's hot water temperature, door self-closing mechanism, and the building's roof and ceiling conditions in the 4th-story public hall. The property has a documented history of boiler-related concerns, with complaints filed in early 2023 regarding defective/inoperative equipment, and an Environmental Control Board violation citing issues with the oil burner, fresh air screen, and mixing valve. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024 related to rust on balcony rails and various maintenance issues, though many of these violations have since been certified as corrected.

The building's bedbug reports from 2022 to 2025 show minimal activity, with most recent inspections indicating no infestations, though there was one documented case in 2020 that was promptly addressed. Rodent inspections between 2009 and 2017 show a mix of results, with two failed inspections in 2009 and 2017, though subsequent inspections in 2012 and 2013 passed successfully. While the building's most pressing issues appear to be centered around the heating system and various maintenance violations, it's worth noting that many complaints and violations have been resolved or closed, and there have been no reported bedbug or major pest issues in the past two years. The property management has taken steps to address various violations when properly notified, though access issues during inspections have been a recurring challenge for HPD's investigation process.
