146 Fenimore Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 17-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 146 Fenimore Street in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Joanna Moloney, is experiencing persistent maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, there is currently an open heating/hot water complaint from May 2025 that remains unresolved, along with multiple recent plumbing concerns including water leaks and sink problems. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded between September 2024 and July 2025 indicating ongoing pest management efforts.

There were significant housing code violations identified in January 2024, including problems with fire retardant materials, hallway conditions, and a lack of janitorial service, though some earlier violations from 2024 were certified as corrected. The property has also faced various water-related issues, with multiple slow leak complaints through 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly regarding insects and plumbing.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, the rodent situation appears to require continuous attention, with multiple compliance and bait inspections suggesting an active management program in place. The property experienced some heating system violations in 2019 related to boiler inspection report filings, though these were dismissed. Recent 311 service requests and violations indicate various ongoing maintenance needs that require attention, including ranging from plumbing issues to pest control challenges, with the most recent concerns centering around heating and water systems. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and status as a former tenement suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate ongoing difficulties with building systems and pest management.
