418 Avenue U, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The 4-unit, 3-story, New Law Tenement building at 418 Avenue U in Gravesend has faced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2018, most notably regarding its electrical systems. In late 2018, there were multiple complaints about electrical problems including no lighting, wiring issues, and problems with outlets and switches.
During 2018-2019, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings (2024) show no active infestations. More concerning were the unauthorized renovation activities in late 2020/2021, when work was performed without proper permits, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $15,250 in penalties related to unpermitted electrical work and general renovations. These violations were ultimately resolved.
The building has also had some ongoing compliance issues, with active violations recorded in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2020 and 2021. Between 2019 and 2021, the property underwent various repairs, including remediation of a vestibule wall that required proper fire retardant material and repainting, as well as addressing multiple safety notice requirements including gas leak procedures, housing information guides, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. The most recent bedbug report from 2024 indicates no current infestations, and the most recent permit activity (2021) shows an electrical work permit was issued, though nearly two years had elapsed since the unauthorized work.
