407 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 407 Cortelyou Road in Kensington, owned by Kewal Chhatwal, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past five years. The most recent Bedbug Report from July 2025 indicates zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period, continuing a three-year trend of no infestations since 2021.

The building underwent a series of simultaneous housing violations in November 2019, including issues with windows, flooring, electrical outlets, and water leaks, though all these complaints were promptly addressed and closed within four days. A set of violations from January 2018 primarily affected ground-floor Unit 1, involving repairs needed for the bathroom tub, ceiling and wall surfaces, kitchen floor, and several other maintenance issues, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with all three annual reports (2021, 2024, and 2025) showing no infestation activity. The most recent inspection in April 2024 revealed a violation related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though this was subsequently marked as closed. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly during the 2018 and 2019 periods, there have been no significant resident safety concerns or unresolved violations on record in the past two years, and the frequency of maintenance-related complaints appears to have substantially declined in recent years.
