1158 Sutter Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1158 Sutter Avenue in East New York, owned by Jennifer Quinones and constructed in 1930, has experienced a series of maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple electrical-related complaints and violations in April 2025, including wiring issues, outlet/switch problems, and no lighting situations, though inspectors found that some conditions did not violate housing laws. The building has faced several other maintenance issues, including sewage odors (April 2025), unsanitary conditions, heat and hot water problems, pest infestations, plumbing concerns, and water leaks in March 2025.

Current open violations from a June 2024 inspection of Apartment 1R include issues with defective floor tiles, bathroom tiles, and various maintenance matters. The building's systems have shown persistent problems with basic amenities, including hot water and gas supply issues in Apartment 1R, as well as deteriorating building elements like the entrance door and floor tiles in common areas. Looking back at the building's history, there were rat activity concerns in 2018, though a subsequent inspection showed compliance.

The property has maintained some basic safety inspections, including a passed rodent inspection in 2018 and a plumbing issue resolution in March 2025. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of 2024, covering various repair needs in common areas and individual apartments. While many recent complaints have been addressed through inspections and some repairs, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has experienced relatively consistent oversight from housing authorities, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints resulting in inspections and varying outcomes regarding code violations and required corrections.
