913 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 913 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Mayer Wachs, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2018. Most recently, in March 2023, the property received a violation for unsatisfactory garbage/recycling storage conditions, though this was resolved by May 2023. A rodent complaint in November 2023 led to a DOHMH inspection, which found no violations.

The building's history reveals a significant cluster of issues in December 2018, including violations for heating/hot water problems, door and window issues, electrical concerns, and safety violations related to a broken window guard. These violations were all related to various building systems and safety features, though some specific inspections found no violations for certain complaints. The property has shown some positive developments in recent years, including passing recent rodent inspections in both 2023 and 2015, and maintaining relatively low bedbug activity, with reports showing no infestations for the past two inspection periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), following a period of infestation in 2020-2021 that affected all units.

The building has open violations as of the most recent inspection, including issues with missing balusters at the front areaway and missing handrail at stairs, both classified as B violations. The annual bedbug reporting requirement has been consistently filed, with the most recent reports indicating no current infestations or previous eradications. The property has shown some improvement in maintaining compliance with housing codes, though the persistence of certain violations and the cluster of issues in 2018 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
