72 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 72 Skillman Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moshe Estreicher, was constructed in 2002 and has experienced various maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in September 2023, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors in public areas, broken fire retardant ceilings in the 6th-story hall and north public hall bulkhead, and the presence of encumbering objects in public halls across all stories.

The building's systems have shown recurring concerns, with heating and hot water problems reported in April 2021, followed by plumbing issues in October 2021, though both complaints were subsequently closed without violations. Additional historical issues include an elevator violation in June 2021 and a gas utility referral in December 2020, with the latter resulting in inspector access issues.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2018 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections show some variability in results, with a passing inspection in July 2024 following a failed initial inspection in June 2024. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with various violations being certified as corrected in late 2023, including fire safety and paint maintenance requirements in common areas. The combination of recent violations related to safety features (such as self-closing doors) and the building's age suggests continued attention to maintenance requirements is needed, while the absence of pest and bedbug issues over multiple years indicates effective management of these specific concerns.
