530 New Lots Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 530 New Lots Avenue in East New York, owned by Olukemi Okunlola, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions, including mold problems, particularly affecting apartment 1F. Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2024 reveal ongoing concerns, including open violations for mold (affecting multiple walls), a defective smoke detector, and a rodent infestation in apartment 1F.

The building has a documented history of heat/hot water problems, with a similar complaint for the entire building in November 2018. In 2019, a safety violation was recorded regarding a broken or missing window guard. More recent developments show some regulatory compliance efforts, including the filing of Bedbug Reports for 2022-2023 and 2020-2021, indicating no infested units, though a mandatory annual report violation was issued in April 2024.

The building's maintenance history includes various other issues ranging from appliance problems (including refrigerator and electric/gas range issues) to paint and plaster concerns, with inspections confirming violations that required resolution. While earlier inspections in 2011 and 2012 passed rodent inspections, the most recent violations suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The property, built in 1930, has a long history as a residential tenement, and recent inspection data suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
