1248 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1248 36th Street in Kensington, owned by Clodovaldo Rodriguez and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks, mold, ceiling condition, window frame issues, and fire escape safety concerns.

All these complaints were promptly inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found in any of the cases. The building also has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is a regulatory requirement under HPD rules. Prior to these recent issues, the property faced some challenges with illegal parking practices.

In 2019 and 2022, violations were documented regarding unauthorized vehicle parking on the front yard, resulting in ECB violations and fines, though one of these was later resolved. The building’s permit history shows an issuance in September 2020, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data. While many of the building's recent problems have been addressed through inspection and closure of complaints, the persistent bedbug report violation status over multiple years remains notable, indicating an ongoing administrative compliance issue separate from the more recent maintenance concerns.
