6713 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 40-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 6713 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Pantelis Tsoukalas, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, most notably concentrated in the past two years. The most recent inspection in October 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment C5, including problems with self-closing doors, electrical fixtures, bathroom plumbing and water supply issues, and various maintenance concerns affecting both walls and ceiling surfaces. These violations, categorized as Class B and Class C, were certified for correction by late October 2024.

The building has a recurring history of heat and hot water complaints, with incidents reported in 2018 and 2022, though these were resolved upon inspection. Additional concerns have included pest infestations (most recently in October 2024), window safety issues, and various appliance problems including refrigerator and range malfunction reports, all of which were investigated but generally did not result in violations. The building's compliance history shows some significant concerns, including a 2020 violation regarding occupancy contrary to the certificate of occupancy, though this was resolved.

There are three active violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements from 2019-2021, and a 2024 bedbug report shows no current infestations or eradication efforts in progress, though the filing does indicate previous monitoring periods. The property has undergone periodic rodent inspections, with the most recent one passing in 2017. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that most recent complaints have resulted in prompt inspections, though not all issues have been fully resolved according to housing codes.
