79 Woodruff Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The four-story New Law Tenement building at 79 Woodruff Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Marc Goldstein, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple simultaneous complaints and violations associated with apartment 4C, including problems with water leaks, mold, ceiling issues, and cabinet problems, all of which resulted in issued violations.
The building has also experienced intermittent electrical issues, with a lighting complaint filed in October 2024 and a heat/hot water complaint in March 2024, though no violations were issued for these. External maintenance appears problematic as evidenced by a 2023-2025 DOB violation regarding failure to file 2019 external low-pressure inspection, now dismissed, and an active violation from 2021 regarding energy efficiency score display. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to basic upkeep, with most complaints being promptly addressed, though not all violations have been fully resolved.
During the most recent complaint inspections in 2024, there were also identified safety concerns including improper window guards and missing guardrails over a below-grade stair. Positive indicators include a consistent record of pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods (2019-2024), and a successful rodent inspection compliance pass in February 2019, following a failed inspection in December 2018 for unspecified reasons. The building's overall age of 110 years (as of 2025) is showing typical signs of wear, particularly in areas requiring plumbing and water infrastructure maintenance.
