733 Hinsdale Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

733 Hinsdale Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law tenement building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Eli Roman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring between March 2025 and December 2024. In March 2025, multiple violations were documented, including problems with the ceiling (paint/plaster issues), plumbing (basin/sink problems), water leaks (damp spots), and unsanitary conditions (pests).

The winter of 2024-2025 saw recurring heat and hot water complaints, and there were documented water leak issues, flooring concerns, and the presence of mold that same year. Apartment 1F has been particularly affected, with multiple violations recorded in December 2024 related to inadequate heat, defective hardwood flooring, visible mold, water leaks, and various surface repair needs, including issues with plastered surfaces and paint. The building's history shows persistent plumbing concerns, with complaints dating back to 2020, though these were ultimately deemed unsubstantiated during inspections.

There have also been several illegal conversion complaints between 2019 and 2023, though inspectors were either unable to gain access or found no violations at the time of inspection. Interestingly, despite the various maintenance issues, the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations since 2019 and passing rodent inspection in 2012. The property has three open violations as of now that require monitoring, including heat/hot water issues, ceiling problems, and others that necessitate repair work by the owner. Historical permits from 2018 show some degree of maintenance activity, including electrical and plumbing work.
