2062 77th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story New Law Tenement at 2062 77th Street in Bensonhurst, built in 1924 and currently owned by Cindy Wang, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most pressing current concerns, as of March 2025, involve plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers and persistent pest issues, although these complaints were closed due to lack of access for HPD inspection. The building has a documented history of door and window maintenance problems, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding doors and window frames that inspectors couldn't access, though a door violation from the same period resulted in fines.

A significant inspection in October 2024 revealed several serious violations specifically in Apartment 1F, including mold issues, peeling paint, and safety concerns such as non-functional smoke detectors and missing carbon monoxide detectors. The building also had violations related to its entrance security features and fire escape requirements, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in early 2025. The property has shown a pattern of maintenance access issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections where inspectors were unable to gain entry.

While some complaints have been resolved through official inspections, including some door and plumbing issues, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance problems. An earlier 2023 inspection found no violations regarding doors, though more recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building access for inspection purposes. A work without permit complaint from December 2020 was investigated but found no violations at that time. The building's 311 complaint history shows a mixture of emergency and non-emergency issues, with the most recent complaints in late 2024 and early 2025 focusing on plumbing and pest problems, while October 2024 inspections resulted in multiple violations requiring correction.
