732 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 21-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 732 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by 732 Properties LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently in March 2025, when multiple complaints were filed about inadequate heat or hot water throughout the building. These complaints have been a consistent concern, with similar issues reported in 2023 and several violations issued for unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 2B.

Additional maintenance concerns include a currently open violation from 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2020, and previous issues with unsecured window air conditioning units in 2021 that led to Environmental Control Board violations. Recent inspection records show significant maintenance and safety concerns, including violations for visible mold, water leaks, and broken floor materials in apartment 3A in 2023.

The building has also had problems with fire escape conditions and unsafe marble treads on stairs, though some of these issues have been addressed. While the bedbug reports for 2021-2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed, the persistent heat and hot water issues, along with the open violations regarding low-pressure inspections, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's violation history indicates a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, with housing maintenance code violations primarily affecting specific units but often indicating building-wide concerns.
