274 73rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 274 73rd Street in Bay Ridge, owned by Jon Wong and constructed in 1926, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing noncompliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating consistent failure to file required documentation.

The building's safety systems have also faced scrutiny; in 2018, there was an open violation regarding an illegal double-cylinder key-operated lock at the building entrance, and in 2021, a boiler-related violation emerged. Specifically, the building had an Environmental Control Board violation related to the failure to display the heating system/boiler room access information sign, which carried a penalty of $312 and remains active. More recently, in September 2024, there was a service request regarding poison ivy that was closed by the Department of Health.

The building's historical bedbug reporting record shows a filing for the period from November 2018 to October 2019 with no reported infestations, though the subsequent pattern of violations suggests either ongoing issues or administrative oversights regarding proper reporting procedures. A boiler-related complaint in October 2021 was investigated and resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While the building's age and classification as a tenement are typical for the neighborhood, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations and safety system issues warrants attention, particularly in terms of building management's responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
