872 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 9-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 872 43rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Anupam Bhaumik, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file Annual External Low Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018-2021, and a prior violation from November 2019 for not filing the 2017 Boiler Inspection report.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with three separate incidents affecting the entire building reported between 2018 and 2020, though in 2020 tenants reported that services were restored before inspection. There's also been one water leak complaint in 2022 that could not be inspected due to access issues. More concerning are several open violations related to safety and maintenance, particularly from 2018-2020.

These include issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4, an unauthorized security feature on that apartment's door, and various conditions in the first-floor vestibule including fire retardant material, encumbrances in public hallways, and the need for repainting. While there have been three consecutive Bedbug Commission filings from 2021-2024 showing no infestations, re-infestations, or eradications, the building's overall maintenance record suggests historical challenges with basic services. The most recent reports (2024) indicate proper bedbug reporting compliance, with zero affected units during the 2023-2024 period.
