316 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This two-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building at 316 New Lots Avenue in East New York, managed by Greencedar Management, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in August 2024, there were multiple complaints about paint/plaster issues and bell/buzzer/intercom problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building had more substantive maintenance matters earlier in 2024, including a heat/hot water issue that was resolved, refrigerator problems with one violation noted, and some water leak concerns that couldn't be inspected.

Of particular concern are the open housing maintenance code violations from July 2024 in apartment 2A, which include a roach infestation, compromised closet door, defective bell buzzer/intercom system, and various issues with doors and hardware. Similar issues are documented in apartment 2B, including problems with plaster surfaces and an electrical light fixture. The building's history shows a generally better condition in previous years regarding pest management.

Bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show only one instance of infestation in 2022 that was eradicated, with all other years reporting no infestations. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections from 2008 through 2020, suggesting good overall pest management in earlier years. Recent complaints and violations indicate some deterioration in building maintenance standards, particularly in and around apartment 2A, where multiple open violations remain as of the latest inspection dates. The property was built in 1933 and features typical tenement building construction and systems.
