259 East 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 259 East 46th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Abraham Moheban and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the current open violation from 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection, and there are multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024.
The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, including significant water-related issues in 2021 with roof leaks affecting multiple areas in Apartment 3R, and several infrastructure concerns documented in 2021 involving broken or defective building elements such as the entrance door wire glass, basement door self-closing mechanism, and first-story hallway plaster ceiling. The building's recent history shows a pattern of emergency situations requiring HPD intervention, including a December 2022 incident involving a missing window guard, and various heating and electrical problems in 2021-2022.
There have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2020-2021, with violations issued for pest issues and garbage/recycling storage. While some complaints were closed without violations, including several in 2022 regarding flooring and window issues, the current status as of 2025 indicates several persistent maintenance and compliance challenges that have not been fully resolved.
