325 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 325 68th Street in Bay Ridge, managed by owner Ilmi Osmani and constructed in 1916, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2022, a complaint about bees or wasps was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this remains unresolved as of July 2025.

The building experienced two significant heat and hot water emergencies in December 2018, with HPD involved in the responses, indicating potential ongoing issues with the building systems despite tenants reporting restoration of services. Multiple violations and complaints have been documented between 2018 and 2023, including three separate notifications regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, though the most recent filings indicate no infestations during the 2023-2025 period.

The building has faced several safety-related violations, including concerns about fire escape obstructions, entrance door security issues, and window guard requirements in public areas. Notable structural and safety issues documented in early 2022 included an obstructing air conditioner unit on a second-story balcony, plexiglass installation at the building entrance, and a missing glass pane in the main entrance door, all of which were subsequently addressed. A specific incident in February 2018 involved excessively hot water (measured at 142 degrees) in apartment 2F, though this appears to have been resolved promptly.
