AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement at 223 East 43rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Jeanne Vilsaint, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2024, though these services were reportedly restored quickly following HPD intervention. The building has faced recurring issues with basic services, including plumbing and appliance problems in 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. Multiple annual bedbug report violations have been filed between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing an open violation status. The property has also experienced maintenance challenges in common areas, with active violations from October 2023 requiring repairs to fire retardant materials and repainting of the ceiling and north wall in the first-story public hall.

Earlier records from 2020 indicate various issues, including mold and ceiling problems, though these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being issued. The building's security infrastructure has been a concern, with open violations related to a defective entrance door lock and assembly, as well as carbon monoxide detector requirements from December 2020. Despite these issues, a rodent inspection conducted in October 2024 resulted in a passing score, indicating the building is currently free of rodent infestations. While many complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, the presence of multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting and building maintenance procedures suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
