103 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

This 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located at 103 East 59th Street in East Flatbush was built in 1920 and is currently owned by Robert Aronov. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with a particularly concerning cluster of problems in 2022. During that year, there were multiple reports and inspections related to unsanitary conditions, including problems with mold and pests, though no violations were ultimately issued. A significant cluster of complaints in September 2022 included heat/hot water issues, pest infestations, and problems with cabinets.

These were accompanied by a water leak issue from August 2022 that was also inspected with no violations found. The building currently has several active violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for both 2020 and 2021. Previous inspections in September 2022 revealed multiple violations in the third-floor apartment (3F), including problems with the water closet tank cover, wood floor, and concerning lead-based paint hazards affecting various surfaces. While some of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2022, there are still unresolved lead paint issues recorded as Class C violations.

The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2024 with no reported infestations or eradications, and rodent inspections in 2014 and 2018 showed mixed results, with one failed inspection in 2014. The property has undergone multiple inspections and service requests, particularly throughout 2022, with the majority resulting in no violations being issued. However, the recent lead paint violations and the failure to file low-pressure inspections are notable concerns for the building's current condition and regulatory compliance. The building's age and history suggest typical maintenance challenges, though the recent bedbug and rodent issues appear to have been effectively managed, with all recent reports indicating no current infestations.
