240 Winthrop Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 28-unit, four-story New Law Tenement building at 240 Winthrop Street, owned by Elridge Daniel and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water service interruptions, with multiple reports in 2018-2019 and most recently in early 2022, though each time tenants reported that services were restored by the time of inspection.

More recently, in early 2024, the building faced water supply and door issues, both classified as emergencies, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has also encountered pest-related problems, including significant infestations documented in 2022 (Apartment 4C) and a 2022 complaint that resulted in violations related to unsanitary conditions. Current open violations from 2024-2023 include requirements to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent inspection revealing no evidence of compliance.

Additionally, there are multiple open violations from 2022 regarding building entrance door maintenance, including missing glass panels and improper plexiglass installations, as well as a notable C-class violation for pest infestations in Apartment 4C (roaches and mice) recorded in March 2022. The building experienced one complaint regarding structural stability (shaking/vibrating) in early 2024, but no violations were found upon inspection. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 according to the official reporting system, the open violation for failure to file annual reports indicates this remains an area of concern.
