550 Maple Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 7-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 550 Maple Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Daphne Balsdon and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concern is the building's heating system, with a notable emergency heat and hot water complaint in January 2024 that was temporarily resolved, and the property currently has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from March and April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.
In 2024, two violations were issued for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, which remain active as of September 2025. The building has a documented history of water-related issues, particularly affecting Apartment 5 in 2018, where multiple violations were recorded for roof leaks impacting ceilings in various rooms, as well as problems with plaster surfaces and smoke detectors, all of which were subsequently closed following certification of repairs in May 2018.
While there have been rodent sightings reported, inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2023 and 2024 resulted in passed inspections with no violations found. A recent heat and hot water complaint from January 2024, though resolved, indicates potential ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's history shows recurring documentation issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, suggesting administrative oversight challenges.
