33 Westminster Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 32-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 33 Westminster Road in Flatbush, owned by Shmaryahu Baumgarten and constructed in 1915, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are two recent complaints from March 2025 regarding indoor air quality with chemical vapors, and multiple water leak incidents in January 2025 (both heavy flow and slow leaks). The building has faced persistent rodent problems, with inspections in January 2025 and December 2024 confirming rat activity, and numerous complaints about unsanitary conditions including garbage storage issues.
Infrastructure concerns are notable, with violations for defective fire doors in public halls (August 2023) and a June 2023 violation for not filing the 2018 external low pressure inspection. Apartment 4F has documented issues including bathroom repairs needed for a leaky faucet and tub enamel, along with ceiling and wall maintenance requirements. The property has a history of varied maintenance challenges as documented by multiple housing code violations and complaints. In 2024, there were concerns about flooring conditions, sewage problems, and an abandoned items violation in the 4th story public hall.
The building's bedbug reports since 2019 show minimal infestations, with only one reported case in 2021 that was promptly addressed. Records indicate proper response to some issues, with HPD and DOHMH closing various complaints after inspections or corrections, though some violations remain open as of 2025. The building's plumbing systems have been a recurring focus, with multiple complaints about water-related issues, and records show permit activity for plumbing work in 2018-2020. A comprehensive approach to address the building's ongoing maintenance and safety concerns will be necessary to ensure proper living conditions for tenants.
