73 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

This three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 73 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Sam Wurzberger, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a water leak complaint filed in May 2025 that resulted in an HPD inspection attempt, though the inspector was ultimately unable to enter the premises for evaluation.

In late June 2025, another structural concern was reported regarding building vibrations, though this inspection also found no violations at the time of review. The building's violation history shows a 2022 notice regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent bedbug reporting from 2020 through 2024 indicates no infestations were present in any unit during the reporting periods. The property has undergone various rodent inspections between 2017 and 2019, with mixed results: it passed in July 2017 and April 2019, but failed an initial inspection in March 2019 for unspecified reasons.

The most recent bedbug report filing from December 2024 indicated zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the 2023-2024 period, continuing a pattern of no infestation during previous reporting periods. While the building's earlier history shows some pest control challenges, recent data suggests improved conditions in terms of both bedbugs and rodents. However, the unresolved water leak complaint from mid-2025 and the structural stability complaint that received attention in the same month warrant monitoring for potential impacts on resident comfort and safety.
