3019 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 3019 Newkirk Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Chesky Engel and constructed in 1935, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water leaks, including two emergency leak incidents in 2025 (May and January) and multiple heating and hot water complaints in late 2024, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.
The building faced significant violations in late 2022, including issues with heating, roach infestation in apartment 6, and several safety concerns such as inadequate lighting in the west fire passage way and missing floor signs in common areas. Recent rodent inspections in late 2024 showed the presence of rat activity, marking a departure from previous successful inspections in 2018 and early 2011.
The building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2024 show no confirmed infestations, though there was one previously eradicated case in 2020. While some violations have been addressed, including a 2022 heating violation and a January 2025 egress issue, the pattern of recurring plumbing and heating problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the most recent filing period ending October 2024.
