1753 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1753 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Samuel Kurz, has a complex history spanning several years, with particular attention needed on some recurring issues. The building, constructed in 1937 and containing 53 units, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints lodged between 2019 and 2021, including documented outages affecting the entire building.

More recently, there are significant concerns regarding lead paint compliance, with multiple open violations as of July 2023 affecting apartments 1C, 1G, 2B, 3F, 4A, 4F, 5D, and 5G, requiring certification of compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements. The building's maintenance record shows some infrastructure concerns, including an open roof leak violation over the 6th-story stairwell bulkhead, identified in November 2023. There have also been elevator service disruptions, with complaints in 2021 regarding single device operation and a related Environmental Control Board violation describing safety concerns with elevator equipment.

The property has experienced its share of regulatory challenges, including several active violations related to inspection report filings (boiler and low pressure inspection) and a historical problem with benchmarking report submission. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported over the past four years (2020-2024), and a rodent inspection in 2010 returned a passing result. The building's recent inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding safety compliance and infrastructure upkeep, while the heat and hot water system issues documented in previous years represent the most significant recurring resident comfort concern.
