150 95th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building at 150 95th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by Jacob Rieger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in early 2023 regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide outages. In early 2024, the building faced multiple plumbing-related violations, including issues with radiators and steam pipes, particularly affecting Apartment 2A.

Structural concerns have also emerged, with the Department of Buildings recording three complaints between 2023-2024 regarding building shaking and structural stability, leading to ECB violations citing multiple vertical cracks and missing bricks. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, including a 2018 complaint about the elevator system, though this was eventually dismissed. More recent inspections in 2023-2024 have revealed several violations needing attention, including heating system issues, plumbing problems, flooring concerns, and requirements for proper maintenance of building systems and safety equipment.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years. However, there was a notable gap in meeting certain administrative requirements in 2022, including posting proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, building registration, and housing information guides, though these violations were eventually resolved. The building's most recent violations from 2024 involve structural concerns that resulted in significant penalties, though the status indicates they are being resolved. While many of the more serious issues appear to have been addressed through the complaint and violation resolution process, the frequency and nature of the maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
