8202 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The four-story, ten-unit New Law Tenement building at 8202 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Peter Andrews and constructed in 1927, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly significant problems emerging in early 2025. Most concerning are multiple electrical problems spanning from March 2025 to April 2025, including a power outage, wiring issues, no lighting, and problems with outlets and switches. The building also faced serious plumbing and sanitary challenges, including water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), radiator issues, and reports of mold and pest infestations.

Apartment 4B has been the focus of several violations, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), hot water exceeding 130 degrees, leaky fixtures, and ceiling damage. The property has an active ECB violation for failing to file required annual boiler inspection reports dating back to 2018, with associated penalties of $3,125. Inspection records indicate persistent rodent issues, with failed inspections in November 2024 and January 2025, though a February 2023 inspection had passed.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations and maintenance delays, with multiple inspection failures regarding boiler inspections between 2018 and 2024, and serious concerns about egress obstruction from fire escape clothing noted in November 2024. Despite some violations being marked as "closed," including various electrical and water-related issues, the persistent nature of these problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent complaints in 2025 indicate continuing issues with building systems, though some HPD inspections were unable to be completed, requiring tenants to re-file complaints for proper investigation.
