1114 47th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 1114 47th Street in Borough Park, owned by Abe Friedman, has experienced several concerning issues over the past five years, with particular attention needed to recent rodent problems. Most notably, in November 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to a rat sighting, with follow-up inspections scheduled.

The building has a documented history of rodent infestations, with rodent inspection results showing both rat activity and failed compliance inspections as recently as March 2024. While there was a brief period of pest monitoring in 2018 that resulted in no violations, the building has consistently required pest control attention, particularly in early 2019 when multiple bait applications were required over several weeks.

The property has also faced other maintenance challenges, including a recent emergency electrical wiring complaint in June 2025 and a verified violation in February 2022 regarding the failure to file a required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2020 to 2024 have shown no recorded bedbug infestations. A complaint about excessive debris from August 2023 was investigated in September 2023 but found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While the building's bedbug reporting history demonstrates consistent compliance since the 2022 violation, with no documented infestations in the past three years, the ongoing rodent issues and recent electrical concerns suggest there are still significant maintenance challenges that require attention.
