516 East 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 516 East 48th Street, owned by Louis Simon and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable events over the past few years that warrant attention. Most concerning is the building's ongoing noncompliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirement, with violations documented in each year from 2021 through 2024, all of which remain open as of now.
This pattern of noncompliance suggests persistent management oversight. In early 2019, there was a significant incident involving unsanitary conditions and mold, which was classified as an emergency complaint; however, this was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and no violations were found.
On a more positive note, following a rodent inspection in February 2019, the building passed the inspection. The most recent health and safety concerns, particularly the bedbug reporting violations, appear to be the most pressing issue for the property at this time, given their ongoing nature and potential impact on resident comfort.
