948 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 948 Hegeman Avenue in East New York, owned by Claudette Henry, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2022, with the most recent problems concentrated around water and air quality. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including both slow and heavy flow incidents, particularly affecting the roof and ceilings in the public hall and Apartment 3C. The building has also faced ventilation and indoor air quality concerns, with the most recent ventilation complaint logged in September 2024. Multiple violations were issued in April 2024, including issues with the roof causing leaks, defective fire-retardant plaster, and problems with the ceiling and wall finishes in common areas and individual apartments.

The building has documented instances of unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, particularly notable in 2022-2024. Violations from April 2024 specifically mentioned the need to address mold conditions in Apartment 1D's bathroom ceiling. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, with some violations being certified as corrected, including work on ceilings, walls, and handrails. Of particular note, there is an active violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report from 2017.

However, recent bedbug reporting from 2022-2025 shows no evidence of infestation, with all reports confirming zero infested units. The building's most recent rodent inspections (2018) showed mixed results, with some failures to comply with standards noted during initial inspections, though subsequent compliance checks passed. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting with consistent zero infestation results, and while there have been multiple maintenance issues, many have been addressed through the compliance process, with most recent violations being closed. The building's history shows a pattern of water-related issues being the most persistent problem area, followed by air quality concerns and general maintenance needs in common areas.
