1739 63rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1739 63rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Salvatore Digiorgi, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. In June 2021, the building faced multiple interconnected problems including slow water leaks, mold, pests, and plumbing issues, particularly affecting Apartment 2A.

Since then, there have been ongoing violations related to this apartment, including water damage, mold, pest infestations, and deteriorated paint/plaster conditions. The building also suffered heat and hot water system failures in late 2018, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. More recently, in June 2023, a Department of Buildings violation was recorded regarding a failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed in July 2023.

The building has maintained a bedbug-free record in the most recent three inspection periods (2021, 2022, and 2023), with the latest filings in December 2024 and 2023 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, several violations from the 2021 inspections remain open as of the most recent data in October 2023, particularly relating to water damage, plaster/paint conditions, and pest control in Apartment 2A. The building's age (constructed in 1925) and its history of multiple maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
