1536 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 1536 38th Street in Borough Park, owned by Benjamin Eisner, has several concerning open violations that have persisted over multiple years. Most notably, the building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, as required by HPD regulations.
These open violations indicate a recurring compliance issue that has remained unresolved for at least four years. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from October 2018, with a significant imposed penalty of $6,250, related to parking regulations in the residential R6 district. This violation involves a midnigh blue Volvo that was observed parked improperly on the property lot, closer to the building's rear entrance.
The building, constructed in 1930, has a documented history of regulatory scrutiny focusing primarily on these two areas: pest management reporting compliance and a specific parking violation. While the bedbug reporting violations affect resident safety and comfort, the parking violation represents both a regulatory non-compliance issue and a substantial financial liability in terms of the unpaid penalty balance. The current open status of all these violations suggests they have not been addressed through proper remediation or compliance measures up to the present date.
