Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 83-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 7002 Ridge Boulevard in Bay Ridge, built in 1931 and currently owned by Mark Levine, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, there were two separate complaints regarding door frames and wall conditions that HPD was unable to inspect, and a serious violation was issued in May 2023 regarding a fire door modification on the 4th story. The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water failures in early 2020, with complaints recorded in January and March, though these issues were reported as resolved. In 2019, a heavy water leak affected one of the apartments on the 6th story, and subsequent inspections revealed various safety concerns, including defective electrical outlets on the 1st and 6th stories (2020), and an emergency water leak issue affecting apartment F15.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with compliance and reporting requirements, particularly regarding the submission of required inspection reports for exterior walls and appurtenances, with multiple violations issued between 2018 and 2022 (including a $5,000 penalty in 2022). Other notable violations include a defective elevator system (2022), problems with the building's sidewalk shed (2019), and various safety concerns such as expired fire extinguishers and maintenance issues that resulted in Oath Violations. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years, and recent rodent inspections as of September 2024 indicate passing results. While the building has received numerous violations over the years, many have been resolved or dismissed, particularly those related to benchmarking and energy reports. Two permits for exterior work were issued in 2021 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by ownership.
