AI summary · updated June 2026

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1371 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Michael Luma, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, multiple service requests were filed regarding various maintenance concerns including unsanitary conditions (with at least one violation issued for pests), plumbing issues, electrical problems, and flooring concerns. The building has also faced challenges with insect infestations, as evidenced by a Class C housing maintenance code violation in 2024 specifically noting a roach infestation in apartment 3L, though more recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicated no active infestations. Recent housing maintenance code complaints in April 2025 raised multiple issues including fire escape safety concerns and various maintenance needs such as painting and plumbing repairs.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both resolved and ongoing issues between 2023 and 2025. Earlier violations from 2023-2024 included problems with the public hall areas on the third story, such as leaking ceilings, defective plaster, and painting requirements. The property has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 related to the failure to file required boiler and low-pressure inspection reports. While the building has undergone periodic rodent inspections between 2009 and 2011, with some initial failures noted, more recent pest control activity has not been specifically documented. The most recent bedbug report filing in April 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no units with infestations during that period.
