1135 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 6-unit, 3-story "New Law Tenement" building at 1135 38th Street in Borough Park, owned by Meisner LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is an active pattern of unsanitary conditions, including persistent mold problems and pest infestations, with the most recent mold complaint logged in December 2024. The building has multiple open violations as of October 2024, including issues with floor conditions, unsanitary conditions, and a lack of proper safety systems such as window guards and smoke detectors in apartment 3F.
There are serious structural concerns noted in recent violations, including compromised floors in bathrooms and hallways, with documented ceiling and floor problems in apartments 2F and 3F. Recent inspections and service requests between 2024 and 2025 have revealed multiple emergency situations, including problems with fire escapes, roof hatches, and safety-related deficiencies. The building has experienced significant electrical issues, including a power outage in July 2024 and multiple violations related to wiring and electrical systems.
Inspection findings from 2024-2025 indicate serious building safety concerns, including an active ECB violation regarding facade cracks, excessive household items on fire escape, and an obstructed fire escape ladder. There were also notable compliance issues in 2025 regarding a vacate order and work contrary to a stop work order. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, the building's ongoing maintenance challenges suggest a pattern of delayed repairs and safety concerns, including multiple instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspections, and repeated violations related to sanitation, structural integrity, and safety systems.
