1220 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1220 43rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Abraham Guttman, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety compliance dating back to 2020. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced structural compliance issues related to excavation work at an adjacent property (121-43rd Street), and violations were issued for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation.

The property has demonstrated recurring challenges with compliance documentation, particularly evident in 2020-2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent filing for the period ending October 2023 shows no reported infestations. Significant safety-related violations from 2020 remain unresolved, including concerns about building entrance modifications, such as plexiglass installations and safety glass requirements, as well as issues with the storage of baby strollers in common areas. The building has had documented issues with heat and hot water service, as evidenced by a January 2020 complaint for lack of these essential services, though inspectors were reportedly unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2020-2023 indicate periodic lapses in compliance with basic safety requirements, including the need to post gas leak emergency procedures and housing information notices. The building's maintenance history shows improved bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2022. While there have been various violations and compliance issues, it is notable that most housing maintenance code violations from 2020-2022 have been closed, with only a few active violations remaining as of 2023.
