2601 Avenue D, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 2601 Avenue D in Flatbush, owned by Faithe Hamilton and constructed in 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most pressing is an ongoing construction lead dust complaint filed with the DOHMH in May 2024, which remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building has a troubling history of water-related problems, with multiple plumbing issues reported between September 2023 and May 2024, including slow and heavy water leaks, and water supply problems, though most of these inspections found no violations.

Significant sanitary concerns have emerged, particularly in September 2023, with violations issued for pest infestations (specifically bedbugs and roaches) affecting apartment 3B, and multiple violations from May 2023 related to apartment 3's maintenance issues including pest control, gas supply, and self-closing door functionality. The building's systems and amenities have shown persistent deficiencies, as evidenced by multiple heat and hot water complaints, with one instance in September 2023 where inspectors could not gain access to verify the condition. Additional concerns include electrical appliance issues and a troubling pattern of water-related problems throughout the building.

While some historical violations have been resolved, including an April 2024 bedbug reporting requirement, several citations related to apartment 3's maintenance needs remain open as of 2025. An illegal conversion complaint filed in February 2024 could not be investigated due to access issues. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and unit conditions, though many recent complaints have been processed and closed, typically without resulting in violations.
