8419 19th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 42-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 8419 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by George Psaras and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with a particular emphasis on heating and plumbing systems. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints between 2019 and 2025, including a February 2025 "emergency" complaint, and multiple plumbing issues including water supply problems in August 2024 and a heavy water leak in October 2023. The building has also faced significant water-related challenges, as evidenced by the October 2023 water leak complaints and a history of both plumbing and unsanitary conditions.
The property has several open violations and past maintenance issues requiring attention. As of August 2024, there is an open Class C violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the bulkhead door on the fourth story. Previous violations in Apartment 3C from 2019 included concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom repairs, and the need for proper wall and ceiling paint. A 2022 inspection revealed boiler-related issues including leaks and missing components, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation that was resolved with no penalty.
Historical complaints from 2019 show a range of maintenance concerns, including pest control issues in August 2019, though there have been no bedbug complaints reported since 2020. The building's recent maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance, though there have been no reported infestations of bedbugs or rodents in recent years, and previous rodent inspections in 2015 and 2017 passed. While many complaints have been addressed and closed, several open violations remain, particularly regarding safety equipment and general maintenance standards. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units across all reporting periods since 2019.
