73 North Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

73 North Henry Street is a 4-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building in Greenpoint, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Joseph Sasiela. The building has experienced recurring maintenance access issues, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding doors/windows and plumbing (specifically toilets) where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain necessary access for inspections, despite these being categorized as emergency complaints.

In 2021-2022, several violations were documented in Apartment 3B, including problems with smoke detectors, water fixtures, and carbon monoxide detection requirements, though all were subsequently closed following necessary corrections. The building has had consistent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing no infested units, and most recently filed reports indicate the building has maintained an infestation-free status for the past three reporting periods. The property has documented one instance of potential unauthorized work in 2023, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the complaint.

Earlier violations from 2021-2022 included defects in the bathroom fixtures, security doors, and heating system access problems, all of which were resolved through proper remediation. Based on the available inspection history, the building has shown regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained proper certification of carbon monoxide detection devices since addressing earlier violations. However, the pattern of access denial during inspections, particularly for emergency complaints, is notable and suggests potential ongoing communication challenges regarding maintenance issues.
