1250 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1250 44th Street in Borough Park, owned by Iszchak Schwartz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems. In November 2023, a heat/hot water complaint was filed but not investigated due to lack of access, and similar heating concerns were documented in multiple 311 service requests.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, evidenced by complaints in October and November 2019, though a subsequent December 2019 compliance inspection passed. Inspection records indicate the building was in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2023, with no reported infestations in any of the filed annual reports. The property has documentation of three violations related to boiler inspections between 2017 and 2019, though these have all been dismissed.

An egress-related complaint from December 2018 was investigated and found to have no warrant for violation at the time. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, the most recent inspections and reporting indicate improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and rodent control measures. The owner has faced some challenges with meeting certain inspection reporting requirements, as evidenced by the violations issued in 2023 for failing to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed in August 2024.
