2015 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 15-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2015 Bay Ridge Avenue in Bensonhurst, built in 1931 and currently owned by Juan Barcenas, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events over the past few years. Most recently, in 2024, the building underwent a successful rodent inspection, passing without violations, and had two complaints related to unsanitary animal conditions (both involving dogs), with one resolved through inspection and another unable to access the property.

In early 2025, there was a complaint regarding a defective boiler that required two inspection attempts, but the inspector was unable to gain access on the final visit. The building's heating system became a significant concern in July 2019 when there was a reported lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved on the same day of the complaint.

The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2023-2024 and 2022-2023) showing zero infested or eradicated units, dating back through four consecutive reporting periods from 2021-2022 to 2024-2025. However, the building has received multiple housing maintenance code violations between 2021-2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have been addressed by the time of the most recent inspections. While the building has a history of some maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and water systems, the recent successful rodent inspection and current bedbug-free status suggest improved overall conditions, though the recent boiler access issue may warrant attention.
