708 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 708 Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, built in 1923 and currently owned by Clive Neil, has experienced a significant pattern of maintenance issues over the past three years, with particular concerns regarding water-related problems. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple water-related complaints including a water supply issue (March 2025), and two separate instances of water leaks (February 2025) with at least one resulting in housing violations.
Prior to this, in 2024, the building faced multiple heat/hot water complaints (February 2024) and several general maintenance issues including pest control and wall repairs. A pattern of water-related issues is evident, with violations and complaints related to leaks and moisture problems continuing into 2025. The building's 2023-2024 maintenance history reveals additional concerning conditions, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F), including mold problems, roof leakage, and various interior maintenance issues such as wall repairs and smoke detector concerns.
Notably, there are currently open violations from 2024 regarding self-closing doors in the public hall and a missing bedbug report from 2024, while multiple violations from December 2023 regarding mold, roof leaks, and interior repairs in apartment 2F remain open. The property has had some successful pest control measures in the past, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, though a pest-related complaint was filed in February 2024. While some issues have been resolved through HPD inspections, including unsanitary conditions in 2024, the building continues to experience recurring problems with water supply, heating, and interior maintenance that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
