1044 Winthrop Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, five-unit New Law Tenement building at 1044 Winthrop Street in East Flatbush, owned by Win 1044 LLC and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding flooring and stairs, with the most recent complaint filed in June 2023 remaining uninvestigated due to access issues, which was also a pattern observed in several other complaints from 2022.

The building has undergone several inspections and faced various violations, with a series of classified 'C' violations issued in September 2022 concerning defective self-closing doors in multiple locations, including apartments and building entrances. Additionally, there was a temporary pest control issue, particularly in 2022 with documented roach infestations in apartments 1R and 2R, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with all five annual reports from 2020-2024 showing no cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

A rodent inspection conducted in December 2022 passed, marking an improvement from multiple failed inspections in 2014. The building's recent history includes two food establishment complaints in 2023, related to food safety violations, though these cases were administratively closed after being addressed. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, the closure of most violations and the absence of bedbug or rodent issues in recent years suggest some improvements in management response, though access issues during inspections remain a concern.
