648 73rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209

648 73rd Street in Bay Ridge is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Michael Mazza. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns occurring in April 2025 involving electric power outages and plumbing issues (basin/sink) that required HPD intervention but could not be fully inspected.

The building has a documented history of various infrastructure problems, including heat/hot water outages that affected the entire building in late 2020 and violations related to garbage/recycling storage in 2020 and 2022. While recent inspections from 2024 showed no bedbug infestations during the 2022-2023 reporting period, earlier years consistently required filing of annual bedbug reports. The property has also faced rodent challenges, with inspections in 2018, 2020, and 2022 showing varying results from "Rat Activity" to "Passed" status, though the 2022 inspection achieved compliance.

The building's violation history reveals several notable safety and maintenance issues, including a C-class violation in 2019 for a defective building entrance door lock, a missing handrail violation in 2018, and a hot water supply issue in 2018 affecting apartment 2L. The property has undergone periodic inspections and has had multiple emergency service requests, particularly for plumbing and heating issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining building systems. Recent violations have generally been addressed promptly, with the most recent significant issues being the April 2025 electrical and plumbing concerns, which remain unresolved pending follow-up inspections.
