4513 10th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 4513 10th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Joel Schwimmer and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2024, Apartment 3A was found to have multiple open violations including inadequate heat and hot water supply, an infestation of mice, visible mold conditions in the bathroom, and problems with self-closing doors.

These violations, classified as both Class B and Class C, represent serious habitability concerns. The building has also faced recurring issues with heating and hot water, most recently documented in December 2024, which followed a similar complaint from 2019. Between 2019-2020, various non-emergency maintenance issues were reported and addressed, including problems with doors, electrical outlets, walls (both paint/plaster), plumbing fixtures, flooring, and appliances.

Additional historical context shows the building has had consistent bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, suggesting ongoing pest management concerns. A 2019 violation was issued regarding a parapet wall repair at the building's front. While some issues have been resolved, as of the most recent inspections, multiple open violations remain, particularly affecting the current resident of Apartment 3A, indicating that several critical maintenance matters require attention.
