1335 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 4-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement at 1335 East 12th Street in Midwood, built in 1928 and owned by Martha Kane, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues in recent months. Most notably, in March 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with some inspections unable to be completed due to access issues.
The building also faced significant lead paint and maintenance issues in late 2022, particularly in apartment 4B, where violations were documented regarding lead-based paint hazards and window guard requirements, though these were certified as corrected by February 2023. Between 2022-2023, safety inspections revealed no violations concerning carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, or window guards, though there were earlier issues of broken/missing window guards noted in 2022. The property has an established maintenance history showing attention to various code violations, including a stop-work order that was fully rescinded in November 2023 related to work without a permit.
Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in October 2023 regarding improper scaffold installation and boom lift use, which were subsequently resolved with no penalties. Despite the recurring heat-related complaints and past lead paint issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units. Recent permit activity from 2019 indicates regular maintenance and improvements to the property, with two permits issued in 2019 (PL and EW types) related to unspecified work.
