2215 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 79-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 2215 Newkirk Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Jay Jaffe and constructed in 1927, has experienced significant recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, with at least seven documented complaints between May 22-29, 2025, including violations issued for some of these incidents.
Water-related problems are also prominent, with multiple complaints about leaks and plumbing issues during the same period. The building has a documented history of elevator concerns, with several complaints between 2022-2024 regarding defective components and lack of alternate service, resulting in multiple ECB violations and penalties.
Compliance issues related to rodent activity have been persistent, with nine inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing "Rat Activity" in several instances, though the most recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvements, passing compliance tests and receiving bait applications. The building has experienced interior maintenance challenges as well, with violations recorded in apartments F9 and A3 in late 2024 related to broken plaster surfaces, window issues, and various plumbing problems, though these were certified as corrected by early 2025.
