1138 71st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The two-story, three-unit building at 1138 71st Street in Dyker Heights, owned by John Patruno, has several notable records spanning the last several years. Most concerning are the four consecutive open violations issued between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These ongoing violations, which have persisted through multiple years despite notifications, suggest potential lapses in building management attention to this important public health requirement. The building's plumbing history shows a significant incident in 2019, when complaints regarding defective, leaking, or poorly maintained plumbing systems prompted a stop work order that was fully rescinded by May 4, 2019.

During this period, the Department of Buildings moved to revoke permits due to a revoked master plumber's license, though this issue was ultimately resolved with the issuance of new permits for plumbing and other work in June 2019. Prior to these events, from late 2018 through early 2019, multiple permits were issued for various work types, including plumbing and exterior work, suggesting some ongoing maintenance and improvement activities at the property. While the building has maintained active permits for various works, the recurring bedbug report violations are the most significant ongoing compliance issue recorded in recent years.
