422 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The 12-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 422 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Aubrey Philbert, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of heat and hot water problems in 2025, with two emergency complaints in May 2025 regarding building-wide issues.
The building has also faced recurring plumbing and maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints about bathtubs/showers, basins/sinks, and wall conditions between February and May 2025, many of which resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The property has been subject to various violations highlighted by inspections, including an ongoing Class C violation from November 2024 in apartment 3C regarding defective self-closing doors, as well as past issues with maintenance of public area doors in 2024.
There have been concerns about water temperature regulation, with violations in apartment 4C regarding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in early 2024. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to reports from 2021-2025, though there have been persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application between October 2024 and July 2025. While many of the violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, the recurring pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding plumbing and building systems, suggests ongoing challenges with the property's upkeep.
