1938 Bay Ridge Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1938 Bay Ridge Parkway, owned by Frank Burrafato, has been in operation since 1931 and is located in Bensonhurst. The building has experienced several notable events over the past decade, with the most significant being an electrical power outage in August 2018 that resulted in inspections by both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), though no violations were found.

Since 2021, the building has maintained a consistent record of annual Bedbug Reporting compliance, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods (2020-2024). However, the building had several open violations in 2018 that raised safety concerns, primarily related to emergency preparedness and safety equipment, including requirements for gas leak notifications, carbon monoxide detector information, and fire escape access.

These violations, recorded on August 20, 2018, were primarily related to notice requirements and fire escape access, specifically concerning air conditioners, window protrusions, and household items obstructing egress from fire escapes on the 2nd-story fire escape. The building has also passed an initial rodent inspection conducted in September 2011, and all current violations on record (as of April 2024) have been closed. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and most recent inspections have resulted in no significant findings, the historical safety violations from 2018 suggest that residents should verify the current state of emergency preparedness and safety equipment in the building.
