715 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 715 Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, owned by Carol James, has a significant history of maintenance issues since 2021 that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

The building has also experienced multiple maintenance challenges in Apartment 1L during 2021, including persistent issues with water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and peeling paint in the bathroom, kitchen, and other rooms, for which multiple class A violations remain open. Additionally, there was a flooring/stairs complaint in January 2021 that was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued.

The property's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with failures documented in mid-2014 and other years showing either passed or initial inspection results. While the building's construction dates back to 1899, its current maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic upkeep and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and maintenance of living conditions in Apartment 1L. The most recent violations from 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements stand out as the most current and ongoing concern, though all previously documented violations from 2021 related to Apartment 1L have not been updated to show resolution as of October 2023.
