This three-story New Law tenement building at 388 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Hershy Galandauer, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a cluster of heat and hot water complaints in early 2024, with at least one resulting in violations. The building has recent emergency violations from June 2025 concerning fire escape safety, door/windows, and multiple unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

Previous significant violations include problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in February 2025, and ongoing rodent infestation issues. The property has faced serious safety concerns in the past, including three egress-related violations in 2019, one of which was marked as an Oath Violation. The building's violation history shows recurring issues with safety equipment and pest control.

Multiple violations from February 2024 specifically noted problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, while the property has been cited for pest infestations including mice and roaches in apartment 6. There are also three open violations from 2024 regarding a bedbug report that appears to be still pending resolution. The building has faced several environmental and occupancy-related violations through the Department of Buildings, including an illegal conversion case involving apartment #3 in 2022 and concerning conditions of the fire escape and roof stairs in 2019. While the owner has addressed many violations through inspections and repairs, several remain open as of 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges at this nearly century-old property.
