323 East 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 323 East 46th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Frederick Cox, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a recent indoor air quality complaint regarding sewage odor in March 2025 and a heat/hot water emergency complaint in December 2024, though the latter inspection was unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

The building has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by a 2022 complaint about a defective/inoperative boiler that led to a violation for failure to display heating system/boiler room access information, which was resolved with no penalties. The property has maintained an apparently effective bedbug control program, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2025 indicating zero infested units. Historical records show consistent efforts to address building maintenance requirements, including past violations related to inadequate front entrance lighting, defective public hall lighting, and various maintenance issues documented in 1986.

More recent violations include missed deadlines for filing bedbug reports and low-pressure inspection requirements in 2023, though these were subsequently dismissed or resolved. The building's management has generally addressed violations promptly, as evidenced by the closure of multiple issues, though recent complaints about heating systems and air quality suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone regular annual bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past five years, indicating effective pest management practices.
