2053 78th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 2053 78th Street in Bensonhurst, built in 1924 and owned by Fmly Realty Corp, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents over recent years. Most notably, in May 2023, two serious violations were documented involving fire safety equipment: one for defective self-closing doors at the center court and another for an improper permanent door stopper at the building's front entrance, both of which were subsequently closed.

The building has also faced recurring issues with garbage and recycling storage between 2021 and 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases. A recent 311 service request regarding janitorial services from January 2023 was investigated by HPD, but again, no violations were found.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past six years, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This indicates effective pest management and prevention measures in place. While the property has experienced some maintenance issues requiring attention to safety features and waste management, the prompt response to violations and absence of bedbug problems suggests a generally maintained building, though prospective tenants should be aware of the documented safety and maintenance concerns.
