1783 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

1783 New York Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement apartment building constructed in 1930 in Flatlands, currently owned by Justin Pinck. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around Unit 2A. As of November 2024, there are multiple open violations in Unit 2A, including problems with hot water exceeding 130 degrees, a blocked fire escape window, defective self-closing doors, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced recurring sanitary challenges, with multiple reports of mold (most recently in November 2024) and pest infestations in 2024. Earlier complaints in 2024 addressed problems with flooring and various door/window issues, though some of these complaints were either closed without violations or resulted in violations that require correction. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of ongoing building system challenges, particularly in Unit 2A, which appears to be the most problematic unit based on the violations filed.

While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, the more recent focus has been on moisture-related issues and building systems. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested units or eradication cases. The owner has received multiple violation notices in 2024, with some being marked as Class C (immediate correction required) and Class A (non-critical but needing correction), particularly related to water temperature and fire safety issues. The most recent housing inspection in November 2024 resulted in violations for visible mold, bathroom vanity issues, and several other maintenance concerns that require attention.
