145 East 37th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story New Law Tenement building at 145 East 37th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Nathaniel Keyes, has experienced several maintenance issues in the past year. Most notably, in May 2025, the building received multiple HPD violations related to flooring conditions, door frame issues, and persistent pest problems, with similar violations recorded through Housing Maintenance Code complaints. A rodent sighting complaint was recorded in February 2025, though the Department of Health could not access the property to conduct an inspection.

The building has a documented history of bedbug violation notices between 2021 and 2024, though a bedbug report filed for the 2023-2024 period indicates no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. More positively, a March 2025 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade, suggesting recent improvements in pest control measures. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with multiple violations across different years, particularly concerning pest control and interior maintenance.

While recent inspections have shown some improvements, particularly in rodent control, the May 2025 violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently filed its required bedbug reports, with the most recent report showing no active infestations, though there were multiple violations for failing to file these reports in previous years. The presence of multiple HPD violations in 2025 suggests that some maintenance issues have not yet been fully resolved, as property owners are generally given time to correct such violations before facing further penalties.
