847 East 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The four-story, eight-unit New Law Tenement at 847 East 19th Street in Flatbush, currently owned by Meir Bouskila, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in July 2024 regarding water damage and ceiling problems, though no violations were issued after HPD inspections. A notable cluster of incidents occurred in July 2021, including air quality concerns with chemical odors, drinking water issues, and safety inspections related to a carbon monoxide detector, all of which were resolved without violations.

The building has had persistent water-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints including a slow leak in March 2019 (which did generate violations), and more recent complaints about damp spots in July 2024. The property has documented several violations requiring attention, particularly in 2020-2021, including problems with window repair (2021), fire escape access (2020), and various maintenance issues in apartment 2B such as mold remediation, broken tiles, and door closing mechanisms.

Historical records show improvements in pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting between 2021-2024 indicating no infestations during the reporting periods. The building has undergone rodent inspections in 2012 and 2020, passing the compliance check in 2020 following an initial failure in 2019. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent bedbug reports show no infestations, and the most recent HPD inspections in 2024, while documenting new complaints, did not result in violations being issued for those issues.
