2838 West 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement at 2838 West 19th Street in Coney Island, owned by Kassem Metta, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and compliance issues since 2023. Most recently, in September 2023, there was a complaint about missing signage that was closed shortly after it was filed, though HPD noted that open conditions might still require verification or inspection.

Prior to this, in August 2023, there was a report of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage; however, after an HPD inspection, no violations were found and the complaint was closed in September. The building's recent history shows no bedbug infestations between November 2022 and October 2023, according to the April 2024 bedbug report, which noted zero infested units and no eradication or re-infestation cases.

Looking further back, there have been two construction-related incidents recorded with the Department of Buildings. In February 2024, a violation was issued for disobeying a vacate order, and in April 2019, there was a stop work order that was fully rescinded in February 2021. The building, constructed in 1901, appears to be maintaining basic compliance with housing regulations, though the recent concerns about garbage storage and signage indicate some ongoing maintenance attention is required.
