916 Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The four-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement at 916 Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1925 and currently owned by 916 Brooklyn LLC, has experienced notable and ongoing issues with building-wide heat and hot water availability throughout late 2024. Between November and December 2024, there were multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding inadequate heat and hot water service, with several cases where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to perform required inspections. During this period, inspections revealed various building maintenance concerns, including defective fire retardant materials, broken marble treads, and issues with fire escapes, resulting in multiple Class A and B violations.
The building's facade was also noted in a Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation (October 2024) for structural issues including step cracks and spalding brick. Historical records show a pattern of maintenance challenges at this property. In March 2018, a violation was issued regarding occupancy issues, leading to several subsequent ECB violations throughout 2018-2019 for failure to comply with correction orders.
Recent inspections have shown continuing rodent activity in 2023, with limited compliance passing rates. The building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations during the annual reporting periods. While some violations have been resolved through proper certification, the persistent nature of heat/hot water issues and recent building maintenance concerns suggest ongoing challenges with property management responsiveness. The building also has active DOB violations regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports of energy use, dating back to 2019.
