1918 East 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1918 East 9th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Elie Sabbagh, has accumulated multiple housing maintenance code violations over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there are three open Class C violations from February 2024 related to lead-based paint hazards, including failure to provide required records to the Department of Buildings and failure to notify occupants of potential hazards. The building has also consistently failed to file its annual bedbug reports per Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with open Class A violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These ongoing documentation and compliance issues suggest potential challenges in maintaining basic resident safety standards. In addition to housing maintenance violations, there are two Department of Buildings complaints from late 2023 and early 2024. A gas utility referral complaint in November 2023 was closed in January 2024 after inspectors were unable to gain access on their second attempt.

Another complaint regarding work without a permit in March 2023 was investigated the same day and found to have no warranted violation at the time of inspection. More recently, a violation was issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of the current date. The pattern of regulatory noncompliance, particularly regarding lead paint and pest management, suggests ongoing oversight challenges within the building's management.
