927 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

927 43rd Street in Borough Park is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Sze Luen Cheng. The property has experienced significant maintenance and utility issues in recent years, with a cluster of complaints in April 2023 regarding inadequate heat/hot water, electrical problems, safety concerns, and pest-related issues. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was frequently unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, though they did confirm inadequate heat/hot water in one apartment through inspection of another unit.

The building has also faced multiple violations, with the most recent inspection in April 2023 revealing several safety and maintenance issues including problems with self-closing doors, missing smoke detectors, and inadequate hot water supply in one apartment. The property has undergone some stability concerns in the past, with complaints in August 2018 regarding building shaking/vibration issues. However, these complaints were ultimately closed with an Oath violation served.

Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent years, with all five annual reports (2020-2024) showing zero infested units. Additionally, the building passed an initial rodent inspection in June 2023, following a rodent-related complaint made in April 2023 that resulted in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection showing no violations. Recent violations include a Class A violation for not posting proper housing information notices and a recurring issue with double cylinder locks on security doors that has resulted in multiple violations. While some issues have been addressed and certified as corrected (such as certain electrical problems), many recent violations from the April 2023 inspection remain open as of the latest available data.
