365 Westminster Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 39-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 365 Westminster Road in Flatbush, built in 1928 and currently owned by Yusuf Bildirici, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with tenants reporting problems in both individual apartments and throughout the building in April, and the same month saw complaints about unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage. Multiple recent complaints from June 2025 relate to door/window issues, intercom/buzzer problems, and pest infestations, with some violations being issued in connection with the pest complaints. The building has a concerning pattern of heat-related problems, with violations in late 2024 for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1E, and multiple heat complaints in 2025.

The property has also faced structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations regarding building maintenance. Active ECB violations from 2024 include issues with electrical wiring in commercial spaces, exposed ceiling grids, and problems with window lentils and exterior facade cracks. Previous violations required repairs to various systems, including the heating system, window guards, and building entrance doors. The elevator system has been flagged for compliance issues, with an active complaint about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" as of April 2025.

While the building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations in the past, recent filings from 2022-2024 report no current infestations. The property has passed rat inspections in 2018 and 2023, though a 2024 inspection noted rat activity. The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, with numerous violations across various housing codes, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, electrical systems, and building safety features. While many past violations have been closed, there are currently active issues including failure to maintain building walls, and multiple violations regarding improper egress conditions. The presence of multiple recent complaints in 2025 suggests continuing difficulties with building maintenance and resident satisfaction, particularly regarding heating systems, pest control, and building security features.
