138 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 84-unit, 6-story residential building at 138 71st Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Heshy Eissenberg, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are two active ECB violations related to the elevator system, including one from April 2021 concerning misaligned brake pads and inoperative phone, with a $1,250 penalty. Another violation from October 2024 involves failure to submit the required parking structure inspection report, with a penalty of $2,500.

Recent HPD inspections in 2024/2025 have focused on multiple service requests regarding doors, windows, and intercom systems, with some inspection attempts being unsuccessful due to lack of access. A specific apartment (C2) was identified in April 2024 with multiple violations including mold conditions, defective caulking, and broken molding trims, though most of these violations were subsequently closed between April and May 2024. The building's history shows recurring issues with building systems and maintenance concerns, including a notable heat and hot water complaint in November 2024, though HPD could not gain access for inspection.

Several complaints regarding safety features and repairs, including flooring, paint, and unsanitary conditions, have been investigated with no violations issued in 2024. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. While there have been numerous violations and complaints on record, the management has generally addressed most issues through inspections and corrections, though several active violations remain as of the latest reports. The building's permit history shows consistent attention to repairs and maintenance, with multiple elevator-related permits issued between 2020-2022.
