1113 Avenue O, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1113 Avenue O is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building in Midwood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Shelly Lang. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints spanning January 5-22, 2025, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.

The building's infrastructure shows significant concerns, particularly evident in 2024 with multiple incidents including a power outage (July), heavy water flow issues, and various plumbing problems. July 2024 inspections resulted in several violations being issued, particularly affecting Unit 1B, including problems with plaster surfaces, ceramic floor tiles, and a variety of maintenance issues involving walls, doors, and lead paint hazards. The building has a concerning pattern of failed compliance with required inspections, as indicated by active violations for failing to file External Low Pressure Inspection records from 2018-2023.

Prior to these issues, the property experienced various maintenance challenges in 2023, including an electric outlet/switch problem and unsanitary conditions related to pests (July 2023) that resulted in violations being issued. However, more recently, between 2023-2025, the building has shown no reported infestations of bedbugs or rodents, and previous violations from 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report were dismissed in October 2024. The current maintenance pattern suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly heating and electrical infrastructure, while regulatory compliance regarding annual inspections has historically been problematic though recent records show no new violations since October 2024.
