1102 East 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1102 East 31st Street in Flatlands, currently owned by Nhm Properties LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced several concerning recurring issues over the past two years, most notably related to heat and hot water systems. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water deficiencies affecting the entire building, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in November 2024 revealing hot water exceeding the maximum allowed temperature of 130 degrees in apartment B2.

Other maintenance issues have included a water leak documented in July 2023, and various violations in 2023-2024 requiring attention to building safety systems, including self-closing doors and fire escape access. The building has generally demonstrated compliance with pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and a passed rodent inspection in October 2024, though there was one rodent sighting reported in September 2024 that resulted in no violations. The property has undergone several inspections and corrective actions over the past three years, addressing various violations including broken gutters, safety concerns regarding fire escapes, and maintenance of public hall areas.

These violations were mostly resolved through follow-up inspections, with some being certified as corrected by late 2024. A historical complaint about an illegal gate fastening at the building's east and north yards was noted in March 2023, along with a citation regarding improper fire retardant plaster in the fourth-story public hall from October 2022. While the building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in 2023-2025 through multiple complaints and violations, it has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations and successfully passed recent rodent inspections, suggesting some stability in pest management.
