1407 35th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

This three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 1407 35th Street in Kensington, owned by Bernadette Parashos, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most notable recent concerns revolve around Unit 5, with multiple active violations as of July 2024, including issues with floor coverings, bathroom fixtures, and safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

There have been recurring problems with plumbing (sink and bathtub), ceiling conditions, and mold, particularly evident in the summer of 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed. Earlier issues include a 2022 heat/hot water complaint that could not be inspected, and the building currently has open violations related to external low-pressure inspections from 2020-2022. The premises has shown some evidence of pest-related issues, with a bedbug report from 2024 showing no current or previously infested units, though there was documented rodent activity in October 2022 followed by a compliance pass in November 2022.

Earlier complaints in 2024 focused on both sanitary conditions and various maintenance issues, including door/window problems and paint/plaster conditions. While many complaints have been resolved without violations being found, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in Unit 5, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. An illegal conversion complaint from 2018 was closed due to access denial during inspection attempts.
