719 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, 6-unit tenement building at 719 41st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Peter Lam and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significantmaintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, there have been recurring cooking gas problems in late 2024, with multiple HPD complaints, and a building-wide heat and hot water issue in December 2024. The building has a documented history of pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 2R and Apartment 3, with violations issued for bedbug and roach infestations between 2022-2024.

There were also issues in 2022 regarding illegal rooming units in the cellar with unauthorized gas equipment, and the building has multiple open violations as of 2025, including failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly in 2023, when HPD was unable to complete inspections related to electrical, plumbing, and heat issues. Apart from the infusion of pests, other notable maintenance concerns have included problems with electrical systems, flooring, and various plumbing issues, though many of these were ultimately resolved or closed.

The property has demonstrated some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2022-2024, showing no documented infestations during these filing periods, though violations for failed reporting requirements have been issued. While some historical violations relate to boiler and chimney issues from 2022, these appear to have been resolved. The building's most recent habitability issues seem focused on gas supply and heating systems, with multiple complaints and violations related to these systems in the past year.
