1462 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building at 1462 Coney Island Avenue in Midwood, owned by David Rose, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent months, particularly in mid-2025. June 2025 brought multiple complaints regarding various apartment systems including heat/hot water, appliances (refrigerator, electric/gas range), plumbing (toilet, bathtub/shower), and a general complaint about the bell/buzzer/intercom system. While some of these complaints were marked as resolved, particularly the heat/hot water issue, several inspections were noted as incomplete due to HPD's inability to gain access.

More recently, in July 2025, the building faced serious maintenance issues including significant water leaks, mold concerns, and multiple plumbing and flooring problems, with some classified as emergencies. The building has a history of pattern maintenance issues, with documented violations from late 2024 including problems with self-closing doors, vestibule locks, and various apartment-specific repairs needed for Units 3 and 4, including electrical, plumbing, and pest control problems. The property has been actively monitored under Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections from 2023 through 2024, with varying outcomes.

While bedbug inspections for the most recent period have shown no reported infestations, the building's overall maintenance record shows recurring issues requiring attention. Notably, past rodent inspections (2014) revealed activity, though more recent inspections (2021-2025) have consistently passed. The building's exterior work has not been without scrutiny, with an active violation from September 2023 regarding unauthorized ceramic tile work in 1st floor commercial space and a complaint about illegal after-hours work in early 2025, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.
