862 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

862 43rd Street is a 25-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 in the Borough Park neighborhood, currently owned by Bar 43rd Realty LLC. The building has faced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a series of plumbing emergencies in October 2022 affecting toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, all of which were resolved within two days of reporting. Earlier in 2022, there were two separate complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though these issues were reportedly corrected after tenant verification.

A water leak complaint from October 2019 was closed without inspection due to access issues. The building currently has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for the years 2021 through 2024, suggesting non-compliance with NYC's housing maintenance code regarding annual bedbug reporting. This is a class A violation, indicating it is considered serious.

On a positive note regarding pest management, an initial rodent inspection conducted in September 2010 resulted in a passing grade. While the recent violations indicate ongoing administrative compliance issues, it's worth noting that they are not necessarily indicative of active infestations, as no bedbug complaints have been recorded through the 311 service portal or HPD since 2020. The building's documented issues have primarily revolved around plumbing and heating systems rather than structural or safety concerns.
