968 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The 23-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 968 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Judy Bachman and constructed in 1923, has recently experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in 2024. Most notably, multiple safety violations were recorded in April 2024, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire escape conditions, all of which were classified as emergencies. The building has also faced various plumbing, electrical, and structural challenges in 2024, though some complaints were closed without violations being issued.
In January 2024, there was an investigation into heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of services. The building currently has open violations from April 2024 related to window repairs, plumbing issues, and missing safety equipment in Apartment B6. Additional historical context shows some persistent concerns about building safety and maintenance.
There have been recent violations regarding blocked fire escapes on multiple stories, and in 2023, the building was cited for not filing the annual bedbug report, though subsequent records show zero bedbug infestations between November 2022 and October 2023. The building's last boiler complaint in 2020 was found to have no violations upon inspection. Regular rodent inspections between 2016 and 2021 consistently passed, suggesting effective pest control management. While many of the 2024 violations have been addressed or closed, several safety concerns remain outstanding as of the latest available data, with particular attention needed on fire safety systems and building egress paths.
