10 Midwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

10 Midwood Street, a 6-story, 66-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, is currently facing several maintenance and safety issues under the ownership of Ned Avikasis. Most notably, there is an open water leak complaint as of June 2025, and multiple violations and complaints from 2024-2025 relating to heat/hot water issues, including a persistently high temperature problem in Apartment 6I. The building has experienced recurring elevator problems, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2023-2024, leading to environmental control board violations and penalties totaling $2,500.

Recent health and safety concerns include pest infestations (June 2025), unsanitary conditions, and multiple open violations regarding air conditioner installations. Despite these issues, the building has shown some compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in early 2025. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple closed complaints regarding plumbing (including sink issues), ceiling problems, and garbage storage.

Notable violations include defective windows and electrical service issues in May 2025. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reports, with no infested units reported since 2020, the persistence of other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive responses to complaints, with several instances where inspectors could not gain access to units for verification. The elevator system has been a particularly problematic area, with multiple violations and service complaints leading to significant penalties over the past two years.
