202 Avenue F, Brooklyn, NY 11218

202 Avenue F is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1930, currently owned by Chanie Bierman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns including a power outage in June 2025, door problems in late 2023, and multiple water leak incidents in 2023. Between 2021 and 2024, there were significant episodes of elevator problems, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service.

The building has faced various code violations, including issues with heat and hot water systems (one incident affecting the entire building in December 2022), and multiple housing maintenance violations in 2023 regarding fire safety, electrical systems, and plumbing. The property has undergone several inspections that revealed various maintenance issues. Most notably, in 2023, violations were documented for an uncapped waste line in the compactor closet, a sealed fire exit door, and multiple issues in the compactor area including defective fire-retardant materials and electrical wiring concerns.

Earlier violations included a requirement to remove illegal locks from emergency exits and address safety concerns regarding fire escapes. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record with no reported infestations in recent years, rodent inspections in 2019 and 2020 returned failed results. The property has also faced administrative violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements, though many of these have been dismissed through proper correction certification. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that many recent complaints have been investigated and closed with no violations found, including several for water leaks, ceiling damage, door problems, and plumbing issues.
