8201 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
8201 19th Avenue is a 6-story, 60-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Chaim Babad. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, electrical issues, and pest concerns. Notable recent incidents include two heat/hot water complaints in 2025 (one marked as emergency), repeated electrical outlet/switch problems with violations issued, and multiple pest-related complaints.
The building's elevator system has been a persistent point of concern, with six complaints between 2021 and 2025 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, along with several violations connected to its maintenance. The property has a documented history of both environmental control board (ECB) and Department of Buildings (DOB) violations. Current active ECB violations from 2024 include issues with worn car door hanger rollers and emergency phone functionality, while previous violations showed concerns about boiler maintenance and elevator safety features. The building underwent inspections in late 2024 that revealed various maintenance deficiencies in Apartment A1, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, bathroom mold, and water leaks.
While the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (showing no infestations in recent filings), rodent inspections from 2015-2022 showed mixed results, with multiple passes and failures. The building's violation history includes several deactivated issues related to the failure to submit energy efficiency reports, though active violations from 2023-2024 remain unresolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with building services and systems, including multiple heating system complaints (both building-wide and apartment-specific) and electrical problems. Recent inspections and 311 complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance access, as multiple HPD inspectors were unable to gain proper access to investigate certain complaints.
