284 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 4-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 284 Kings Highway in Gravesend, owned by Fikreta Jahovic and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during a notable heating system crisis in February 2020 when multiple complaints were filed about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building and individual apartments. This pattern of heating system failures in 2020 involved numerous complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and resulted in multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints. More recently, the building has faced ongoing administrative compliance issues, with open violations regarding bedbug reporting as of 2024, though previous years showed no documented infestations.

The Department of Buildings records reveal concerns about electrical safety in 2019, including several complaints about defective wiring that resulted in violations. The building's historical maintenance record shows periods of pest control challenges, as evidenced by rodent inspections between 2015-2019, though the most recent rodent inspections passed. In 2020, besides the heating issues, there were violations related to building safety including door and tile repair needs in public areas.

An unresolved bedbug reporting violation was documented in 2024. The property has seen various inspection responses to emergency situations and non-emergency issues, with complaints about intercom systems, plumbing, and other maintenance matters being addressed through official channels. Regulatory compliance has been demonstrated through multiple permit issuances between 2018-2019, and while safety concerns have been identified through various inspections, many historical violations have been resolved, though some remain open as of the most recent data. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of heating system issues, maintenance challenges, and periodic pest-related concerns, with more recent years showing improved compliance with many regulatory requirements, though some open violations remain.
