327 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

As of July 2025, 327 43rd Street is a 4-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement built in 1906, currently owned by Jacob Bernat. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and June 2025, including at least eight emergency-level complaints that required HPD intervention. While some issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection or contact, several complaints noted difficulties in gaining apartment access for verification.

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a significant water leak complaint in February 2025, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 related to building systems and safety features, including self-closing doors and radiator issues. The property has an extensive history of maintenance concerns, including multiple instances of window-related violations in apartments 4 and 7, and issues with mold and ceramic tiles in apartment 7 identified during 2024 inspections. The building's common areas have been the subject of several violations, including encumbrances on stairways and problems with vestibule doors.

While there was one documented incident of bedbug infestation in 2020, subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 have shown zero reported infestations. Rodent inspections in 2024 indicated initial rat activity in June, followed by compliance in July. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2021, but inspectors were unable to gain access to complete the investigation. Despite these numerous maintenance issues, the building's most recent inspections for bedbugs and rodent compliance show no current widespread infestations or active violations in these specific areas.
