1499 East 10th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1499 East 10th Street in Midwood, owned by Juany Wang, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout 2023, with the most significant problems occurring in September-October 2023. Recent complaints and violations have included indoor air quality issues, multiple instances of heavy water leaks, and pest infestations (both mice and roaches) particularly affecting the 3rd floor apartment (3F).

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, such as problems with doors and windows, including a defective self-closing door in 3F and issues with window panes. The most recent inspection on October 2, 2023, resulted in several violations, including encumbered fire escapes from balconies, defective ceramic tiles in public hallways, and various repair needs in apartment 3F related to plaster surfaces and paint. Prior to these issues, the building had documented maintenance concerns in May 2023, including water leaks, general problems with the mailbox, and door issues.

Notably, the property has maintained a bedbug-free record over several years, with reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. While the building's recent history shows multiple violations and complaints requiring attention, the consistent absence of bedbug problems is a positive aspect of its maintenance record. The property's age (built in 1925) and designation as a New Law Tenement have presented typical urban maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water systems, pest control, and building infrastructure.
