345 86th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
The 6-story, 128-unit New Law Tenement building at 345 86th Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Charles Alpert, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with a cluster of complaints between February and April 2025 indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted multiple inspections, though access limitations and temporary resolution confirmations complicated the inspection process.
The building has also faced significant violations requiring attention in 2024, including defective self-closing doors in various locations, a carbon monoxide detector issue in apartment 617, and visible mold conditions around the bathtub in the same unit. Two notable Building Department violations from 2021-2022 remain active: failure to file the FISP Cycle 9A technical report (2022) and failure to display energy efficiency scores (2021). The property has a documented history of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), though there were two isolated instances in 2019-2020 and early 2022.
Compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17 have been conducted regularly, with the most recent being marked as "No Violation Warranted" in March 2023. Additionally, the building had penalties related to exterior wall inspection reporting requirements in 2018 and 2022, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent HPD inspections in 2024 noted several building systems' issues, including plumbing problems with radiators and various safety concerns regarding self-closing doors and fire safety features.
