1266 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1266 44th Street in Borough Park, owned by Shia Deutsch, has a mixed history since its construction in 1930. The most recent significant issues include two active violations related to required inspections: a 2023 violation for failing to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and a 2020 violation for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report, though this was later dismissed after a $1,000 penalty was paid. The building experienced a power outage in July 2020, with inspections showing no violations were issued.

An inspection in April 2021 revealed a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though subsequent reports from 2019 through 2024 have shown no evidence of bedbug infestations. The property has a history of various compliance issues, including multiple violations from 1993 related to unauthorized alterations and safety concerns. These included unapproved alterations to doors and porches, wall piercings for air conditioning installation, and issues with living space usage in the front center west cellar, all of which were certified as resolved in 2018.

Historical records from 1986 noted fire egress concerns and unauthorized modifications in apartment 2A, though these were also addressed by 2018. More recent building-related issues were documented between 2018-2019, including complaints about electrical wiring, plumbing, and construction work, though all were closed with no violations found. The building's permit history shows an active plumbing permit issued in October 2018, following a period of inspection-related challenges including a temporary stop work order that was ultimately resolved. The property's bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024 shows consistent compliance, with zero reported infestations or re-infestations during this period.
