73 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

73 Graham Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Fred Levine. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints documented between December 2022 and October 2023, affecting the entire building and individual apartments. The most recent complaints were filed in September 2023, which were reportedly resolved, though similar complaints have been persistent throughout the winter months.

In early 2023, there were also plumbing issues related to water supply. The building has been cited with several maintenance violations, including three violations issued in February 2023 related to the 4th-story public hall concerning fire retardant material, ceiling leaks, and painting requirements, though these were certified as corrected by April 2024. Previous violations were recorded for various issues, including leaky faucets in Apartment 7 (December 2022), and there was one notable safety violation in 2020 regarding a protruding air conditioner that obstructed the fire escape. The building's systems appear to be facing ongoing challenges, particularly with the heating infrastructure, as evidenced by the pattern of heat and hot water complaints.

In 2020, violations were noted for providing proper access to the heating system and maintaining hot water in Apartment 7. All six years of annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show zero infestation cases, indicating effective pest management. A minor Department of Buildings violation regarding the failure to file a 2021 external low-pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 but was dismissed in June 2025. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, many violations have been addressed and closed, though the recurring heating problems suggest ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure.
