220 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
220 72nd Street is a 32-unit, 4-story "New Law Tenement" building constructed in 1931 in Bay Ridge, currently owned by 220 72 Street Realty Corp. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint in April 2025, following a pattern of heating problems observed in June 2023 and earlier.
In June 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply and plumbing issues, along with concerns about door frames, cabinets, and paint/plaster conditions. A significant mold issue was documented in Apartment C4 in June 2023, which was subsequently addressed but left some open violations relating to window guards, lead paint hazards, and wall repairs, as well as multiple violations regarding doors and door frames. The building's violation record shows consistent maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023, when violations were issued for self-closing door mechanisms and various repairs needed in the first-floor vestibule.
A notable open violation exists as of December 2023 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information. However, the property has maintained a clean record for pest control, as evidenced by bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2019 to 2024, and passed a rodent inspection in February 2020. While many past violations have been resolved, the building has some lingering maintenance issues that require ongoing attention, particularly relating to heating systems and various apartment conditions.
