553 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 553 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Tawana Grant and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building had complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem's extent.

The building has multiple open violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, representing a recurring compliance issue. Additional concerns include a heavy water leak incident from September 2021 that was addressed, and paint/plaster issues reported in October 2023 which did not result in any violations.

The building's history also shows some regulatory scrutiny, with a zoning complaint in January 2025 that was investigated in July 2025 and found no violations. Previous rodent inspections in 2010 and 2012 revealed mixed results, with one failure noted in July 2012 for "Other Reasons." The property has had some recent attention from the Department of Buildings regarding permits in 2019, though access issues prevented a complete inspection. While the building has maintained compliance with some basic requirements, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations and recurring heat/hot water issues suggest areas requiring attention, though not all reported complaints have resulted in confirmed violations or enforcement actions.
