316 68th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 316 68th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Ceram Osmani and constructed in 1917, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint in March 2025 affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, with documented infestations of various pests including cockroaches and mice in apartment 14 (reported in April 2024), and additional pest-related complaints in 2025.
Multiple violations were issued during 2024 inspections, including issues with window frames, water leaks, and ceiling damage. Significant violations were documented in December 2024, including a security concern about a key-operated lock on a fire escape in apartment 15 and door maintenance issues in apartment 9. The building's maintenance history reveals several emergency repairs required in 2024, including issues with flooring, plaster, and heating systems.
A notable past violation from 2018 involved the front exterior wall's coping and masonry condition, resulting in a $12,500 penalty. The property has maintained clean records in recent bedbug reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), showing zero infestations, and a rodent inspection in February 2020 passed successfully. The combination of unresolved heating system access issues, persistent pest control challenges, and multiple housing code violations suggests ongoing maintenance concerns, though many violations from 2024 appear to have been addressed in subsequent inspections.
