145 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
145 72nd Street is a 6-story, 84-unit Class A residential building in Bay Ridge, owned by Heshy Eissenberg and constructed in 1950. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns around heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2022-2024. Between 2021 and 2025, there have been several unsuccessful inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions, fire escape safety, and plumbing issues, suggesting ongoing access challenges for regulatory inspections.
The property has faced consistent elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2019 and 2024, including issues with inoperative phones, oil leaks, and hoist machine problems, resulting in Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations. There are two active DOB violations from 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing no infestations (2021-2024), and passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2024, the persistence of heating system complaints and elevator issues suggests continued infrastructure challenges.
Recent 311 complaints and inspections in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing concerns, with the most recent issue being a pest-related complaint in April 2025 that could not be properly inspected. The building's history shows a pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2022-2024, multiple unsanitary condition complaints (including pest issues) in 2021 and 2024, and various safety-related concerns including fire escape access. Despite these issues, many historical complaints have been marked as "closed" rather than "resolved," indicating either lack of proper remediation or ongoing access issues for inspections.
