448 East 26th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 448 East 26th Street in Flatbush, owned by Abdul-ganiu Muritala and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are two open Category C violations from November 2023 in Apartment 1 concerning lead paint hazards, and multiple active DOB violations related to failure to file low-pressure inspections from 2018-2020. The building has documented persistent pest problems, with recent HPD inspections in April 2025 identifying violations requiring correction.

Heat and hot water access complaints have been reported, though inspections were unable to gain access for verification. Multiple flooring and ceiling issues have been reported and inspected between 2023-2025, with most receiving no violation citations, though there was one certified violation for ceiling mold in Apartment 7 from November 2023. Recent rat activity was confirmed during inspections in September and November 2023, continuing a historical pattern of rodent issues documented since 2017.

The building's management has responded to numerous 311 service requests, though access issues have sometimes hindered inspections. While there have been bedbug reports filed, they consistently indicate no infested units or eradication efforts needed. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues across various categories, including unsanitary conditions, flooring problems, and heating concerns, though many older violations have been closed following inspections.
