270 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 72nd Street property in Bay Ridge, owned by Ro-rob Realty Corp, is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1926. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues over the past year, with six separate complaints regarding inadequate lighting between September 2024 and April 2025, though inspections generally found no violations, except for one incident in September 2024 that resulted in violations.

The property has multiple open violations from September 2024 related to various building maintenance issues, including defective entrance door latches, broken light fixtures, masonry damage, fire escape obstructions, and encumbered egress paths. Notably, there are also three active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections covering 2019, 2021, and 2022, along with an older violation from 2019 regarding boiler inspection documentation. The building's common areas and safety systems have been the subject of several recent concerns, including ongoing issues with building entrance security and fire escape accessibility.

Despite these maintenance challenges, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five filing periods from 2019 through 2024. The building's management has received multiple violation notices for various infrastructure issues, including defective exterior lighting and masonry work, which were supposed to be addressed by certified deadlines. While some violations have been closed through correction actions, many - especially those related to the electrical system - have persisted through multiple tenant complaints.
