1947 65th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The four-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building at 1947 65th Street in Borough Park, owned by Stephen Wallach and constructed in 1931, has recently experienced maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2023. Most notably, violations were documented in November 2023 in apartment 3E, including water leak issues and visible mold conditions in the bathroom, with additional concerns about ceiling damage and plaster defects.

The building has a history of heat and hot water system reliability issues, with complaints recorded in both 2018 and 2022 for the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved following inspections. Earlier violations from 2018 included safety concerns, such as a missing handrail in the first-story vestibule and requirements for gas leak notification posting in common areas, both of which were subsequently addressed.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025), and a successful rodent inspection pass in September 2014. The most recent documented violations from late 2023 are currently being addressed, with some having reached 'Closed' status by February 2024, including repairs to water damage and ceiling surfaces in apartment 3E. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to infrastructure issues, particularly relating to water systems and building surfaces, with the most recent problems appearing to be clustered in a single apartment unit.
