957 67th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 32-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 957 67th Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Joseph Pane, has experienced recurring issues with building systems and maintenance over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of heat and hot water service problems throughout 2024, with eight documented complaints between December 2023 and October 2024, though inspections typically found these issues had been resolved by the time of inspection. More recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about mold and a broken window guard, both of which were investigated but no violations were found.

The building has also been cited for various maintenance issues, including three Class B violations in 2024 regarding encumbrances in public areas (including a gas stove on the 3rd floor), a defective fire escape issue, and a defective self-closing door at the entrance. Additional concerns include a C violation from December 2023 regarding access to the heating system, and multiple hot water complaints in December 2023 and January 2024 affecting apartments B2 and D5. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years according to the bedbug reporting requirements.

However, there have been documented rat activity reports in 2023, with bait applied in November 2023 following earlier inspections showing rat presence. The building's owners were also cited for failure to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2022 and 2023, though these violations were dismissed in July 2024. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, most violations appear to be addressed promptly, with the majority being resolved through inspections rather than resulting in ongoing penalties or legal actions.
