951 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The four-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement at 951 42nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Gail Schattner, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with eight documented complaints between March and May of that year, all of which were either unable to be verified or were duplicates of other complaints. The building has had several notable maintenance issues in recent years, including a December 2024 violation for a self-closing door malfunction in the vestibule, and significant pest control concerns in Apartment C2, where both rodent and roach infestations were reported and required remediation.

The building's systems and safety compliance have come under scrutiny, with multiple active violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements dating back to 2019, including failure to display energy scores and submit benchmarking reports. The property has a documented history of safety and maintenance challenges, including a 2023 inspection revealing exterior wall cracks and past issues with emergency exit access in 2019.

Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple violations regarding door security and fire safety systems, as well as waste management compliance. The building underwent several inspections for gas-related issues between 2021-2023, suggesting ongoing concerns with utility systems, though some violations were ultimately resolved. Notably, the building has maintained an apparently successful bed bug management record from 2019 to present, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings, though rodent inspections in 2013 and 2014 indicated past challenges with pest control.
