903 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 24-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 903 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Kristina Sackoor, has experienced persistent heating and water supply issues throughout 2023-2025, with ten documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems in the past two years alone. These complaints typically affect the entire building, with several instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Other maintenance issues have included plumbing concerns (January 2025), and significant safety violations identified in 2024 inspections, such as defective self-closing doors, security issues with electromagnetic locking devices, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment B3. The building has ongoing open violations with the Department of Buildings from 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. Two illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2022 and 2023, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify the claims.

Additionally, in late 2024, three open violations were noted regarding building security and encumbrances in the public hall on the first story, including problems with building entrance door security and unauthorized locking devices. Historical rodent inspections show a pattern of issues in 2011-2015, with initial failures followed by compliance passes in 2012 and 2015. The building's age (1925) and its history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly regarding heat and security infrastructure.
