1143 43rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The four-story, 47-unit tenement building at 1143 43rd Street in Borough Park, owned by Musa Cekovic, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent problem with cooking gas services, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between March and April 2025, suggesting an ongoing building-wide infrastructure challenge. This pattern follows similar issues with heat and hot water services in late 2024 and early 2025, indicating possible systemic maintenance difficulties.

The building has also faced significant violations related to lead paint hazard requirements, with open violations as of October 2024 affecting multiple units including A4, B3, C6, C10, D1, D7, D8, D11, and C11, though these are classified as 'B' violations of moderate severity. Historical records show various quality-of-life concerns, including pest infestations in early 2024 and mold issues, though these appear to have been addressed through HPD inspections. The property has maintained an active record of complying with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no incidents of infestation in recent years.

On the regulatory compliance side, there are outstanding violations related to energy benchmarking reports from 2019-2020 that remain open with the Department of Buildings. Rodent inspections conducted between 2009 and 2018 show variable results, though the most recent inspections indicate some ongoing challenges. While the building's management has addressed many complaints through HPD interventions, access issues have sometimes hindered complete inspections, particularly regarding heat/hot water and general conditions in early 2024.
