971 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 971 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Carlos Carlos, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. The most significant pattern of complaints occurred during 2021-2022, with multiple reports of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, particularly concentrated between November 2021 and February 2022. More recently, there is one open violation as of April 2023 related to broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen of apartment B4, while four open violations remain from September 2021 concerning water leaks, plaster issues, and bathroom repairs in apartment D4 on the 4th floor.

The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past four annual reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, and the most recent filing in July 2025 shows zero infested units. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple code violations and complaints over the years, with particular attention required for maintenance of common areas and addressing water-related issues. These include a 2022 violation for broken wire glass in the 2nd-story public hall stairs, and multiple complaints regarding water leaks, with the most recent documented leak being in October 2021.

The building's history also shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all reports indicating zero infestations. An attempted inspection in 2018 related to a permit complaint resulted in no access being gained. The combined records suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, though the building has shown no recent issues with pests.
