1138 58th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

1138 58th Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, owned by Steve Deutsch. The New Law Tenement, constructed in 1920, has a concerning pattern of open Housing Maintenance Code violations that raise significant resident safety and maintenance concerns. Most notably, the building has failed to file mandatory annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, resulting in persistent open violations.

The building's violation history from 2018 shows a cluster of serious safety-related open violations that remain unresolved as of 2025. These include failures to post essential safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides. Additionally, there are violations related to proper maintenance of safety equipment, including defective fire retardant materials in the first-story public hall.

Other violations from 2018 include requirements to repaint the east wall of the first-story public hall with light-colored paint and address various safety notice posting requirements, including maintaining a properly framed certificate of inspection visits near the mailboxes. The persistent nature of these open violations over multiple years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements and critical safety notifications, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance issues that affect resident safety and comfort. While some violations from 2018 have been closed, the majority remain open and unresolved, warranting attention to the building's current maintenance status.
