1623 West 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 1623 West 9th Street in Gravesend, owned by Damaris Cen Wu, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems consistently relating to heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in early 2025, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints for the entire building in February and January, with the February complaint being investigated but not finding violations, while January's inspection could not gain building access.

Prior to this, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions in 2023, including issues with pests and garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were found in those inspections. The property has also faced various regulatory scrutiny in early 2025, with multiple complaints about unauthorized work and permit violations, particularly during March 2025, though most of these investigations were either unsubstantiated or resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" findings.

A December 2022 plumbing/water supply issue was classified as an immediate emergency but also resulted in no violations being found. Notably, the building has shown consistent evidence of proper pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as documented in the quarterly bedbug reporting system. The building's records indicate persistent access issues for inspectors, particularly regarding complaints about unauthorized work and permits, as shown by the "Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" results in multiple cases throughout 2024-2025.
