915 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 12-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 915 43rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Abe Mark, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. The most recent complaints from July 2024 involve unsanitary conditions with pests, ceiling paint/plaster issues, cabinet problems, and multiple water leak incidents, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Regular maintenance concerns have persisted, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations, including open violations related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector failures, as well as self-closing door issues.

August 2024 inspections revealed infestations of roaches and mice in Apartment 2A, along with missing window guards that require attention. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including a confirmed bedbug infestation in late 2024 in one dwelling unit, though it had been eradicated. Earlier complaints from 2024 also documented various maintenance problems, including plumbing issues and ceiling repairs, though most of these were closed without violations being issued.

A potential illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the first attempt. Historical records show a violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report in 2019, which was later dismissed. While some issues have been resolved, the building continues to have open violations that require attention, particularly regarding safety systems such as smoke detectors and self-closing doors.
