539 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 539 Hegeman Avenue in East New York, owned by Junear Rajwant and built in 1923, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in the fall of 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding flooring/stairs, pests, and sanitary conditions, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access for inspection in several cases. Earlier in 2023, there were emergency complaints about flooring/stairs, paint/plaster issues, electrical wiring problems, and plumbing concerns, particularly involving a basin/sink.
The building also experienced heat and hot water issues in December 2022 affecting the entire building. Inspection records from 2021-2022 revealed several Class A violations regarding building safety requirements, including missing notices about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though most of these have since been resolved. There was also a rodent infestation reported in March 2023, following which a compliance inspection in April showed no further issues.
The building's bedbug reporting from 2023-2025 shows no reported infestations during the past three filing periods. A significant Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from late 2019 regarding failure to maintain the building was resolved with a $625 penalty. While recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations and passed rodent inspections in 2023 suggest improved pest control, the multiple unresolved access issues in 2023 and various maintenance complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep and response to tenant concerns.
