528 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

528 New Lots Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, built in 1930 and currently owned by the Estate of Shirley Diamond. The most significant recent issues emerged in early 2024, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations concentrated in apartment 2R. These included problems with radiators, mold (approximately 6 square feet at base cabinet in kitchen), a damp spot, wall conditions, and various door-related issues.

An emergency complaint regarding flooring conditions was also filed in February 2024. The building's systems have undergone several inspections, with some violations categorically opened in March 2024 regarding radiator problems, mold issues, and safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) needing attention. The property has a history of unresolved access issues for inspections related to electric outlets/switches, window frames, sanitary conditions, and flooring in February 2024.

Additionally, there have been two Department of Buildings complaints regarding possible illegal conversions (in 2022 and 2024), though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past seven years (no reported cases since 2019), rodent inspections from 2011 and 2012 passed without issues. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure challenges, particularly affecting the second-floor unit, with multiple violations still pending resolution as of March 2024. The building has consistently required attention to basic maintenance and safety systems, including heating, plumbing, and electrical concerns.
