72 De Sales Place, Brooklyn, NY 11207

72 De Sales Place is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by 72 Desales LLC and located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably involving plumbing and heating systems.

In August 2023, there were multiple plumbing complaints regarding bathtub/showers and water supply issues, which were verified as corrected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced heating problems; in October 2022, there were complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with violations issued following the inspection of another apartment. A June 2023 inspection identified two self-closing door issues at the basement entrance and vestibule, which were subsequently certified as corrected.

The property appears to have maintained a relatively good overall condition in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2020 and successful rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2022, and 2018, with only one failure recorded in 2019 for other reasons. The building has undergone significant safety improvements, addressing multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 that involved posting various safety-related notices in common areas, including those regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detection requirements. All housing maintenance code violations and complaints have been officially closed, indicating that the building management has generally responded to and resolved reported issues in accordance with regulatory requirements.
