466 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 39-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 466 Rockaway Parkway in East Flatbush, owned by Dancyn Realty LLC and constructed in 1927, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Between May and June 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to water-related problems, including multiple water leak complaints (heavy flow, slow leak, and damp spots), with at least one resulting in HPD violations. Inspections in June 2025 also encountered difficulties completing check-ups on various reported issues, including mold, lighting problems, cabinet concerns, general maintenance needs, and more.

The building's history shows a pattern of plumbing and maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment D4, which had several violations identified in December 2024, including issues with water temperature, smoke detectors, cabinet doors, and ceiling repairs, though most of these were certified as corrected by early 2025. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023, with some showing rat activity, including recent inspections in September and November 2023. The property has had relatively few bedbug incidents reported, with only one confirmed case in 2019.

A significant number of 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed in 2025, with many resulting in closed cases due to inspection access issues. The Department of Buildings conducted Local Law 188 compliance inspections in 2024, with one active complaint as of mid-2024, though no violations were cited. The building's maintenance record demonstrates ongoing challenges with various systems and infrastructure, particularly in terms of water management and general upkeep, requiring attention to resident comfort and safety standards.
