1315 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 3-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building at 1315 Sutter Avenue in East New York, owned by Jay Lubin and constructed in 1922, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from January to March 2025, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with multiple violations issued despite some conditions being verified as corrected through subsequent inspections.

More recently, in June 2025, there were unsanitary condition complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage and sewage issues, with some resulting in violations requiring the owner to make corrections. The building's December 2024 inspection revealed several violations, particularly in apartment 7C, including pest infestation, window repair issues, and hot water temperature concerns. Common areas have required attention as well, with violations noted for public hall maintenance including plaster repair and repainting requirements.

Historical records show earlier building system concerns, including a 2019 issue with an unpermitted boiler installation and a 2019 sidewalk cellar door defect violation. While recent bedbug and rodent inspection records show no active infestations or violations since 2020, the recurring issues with building-wide heat/hot water systems and various maintenance violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history showing zero infestations from 2018 through 2024, and rodent inspections between 2016-2017 indicated sporadic rat activity, with compliance improvements noted in subsequent years.
