764 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

764 39th Street in Sunset Park is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Simon Mak. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, most significantly a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in October 2019, which resulted in HPD inspections and violations.

The property has also faced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with notifications issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. Safety concerns were particularly prominent in late 2019 when violations were recorded for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R, along with issues concerning self-closing doors at the building entrance and hot water availability in unit 2R, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's more recent history appears to be relatively stable, with bedbug reporting requirements now being met according to the most recent filings in 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

An illegal conversion complaint from October 2019 was investigated and determined to have no warrant for violation at the time of inspection. The property has maintained a clean rodent record since 2017, passing the initial inspection with no subsequent issues reported. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, the current data suggests improved compliance with safety regulations and building maintenance requirements over the past two years.
