2180 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 2180 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Jeanne Yuen, was constructed in 1927 and contains 6 units. The building underwent a series of significant maintenance issues in late 2022, with multiple violations recorded during a November inspection, particularly affecting the 3rd floor apartment (3F). These violations included safety concerns such as a defective fire egress system with obstructing bars or unlawful gates from the kitchen window to the fire escape, and issues with self-closing doors.

There were also several violations related to unauthorized modifications, including a suspended drop ceiling in multiple rooms of apartment 3F, for which the Department of Buildings required the owner to either file proper plans and applications to legalize the alteration or restore the area to its original condition. Other notable infractions included a missing wood baluster in the second-story public hall stairs, various encumbrances in public hall stairs, and defective plastered surfaces and paint in apartment 3F's kitchen. A bedbug-related violation was recorded in February 2022 regarding the filing of an annual report, but this appears to have been addressed.

As of the latest bedbug reporting period (November 2023 - October 2024), the building has maintained a clean record with no reported infestations in any of the six units, and all units previously requiring eradication (as noted in the December 2024 report) have been successfully treated. The building's bedbug report history shows consistent compliance from 2021 to present, with zero infestations reported in all filings, indicating effective pest management practices. The owner appears to have addressed the 2022 violations, as most were certified as closed by December 2022, though it's worth noting that one violation related to the building entrance door's self-closing mechanism remained open as of the last available certification date.
