1255 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

This two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building located at 1255 72nd Street in Dyker Heights, owned by Shu Ying Lee, has been facing several maintenance and safety issues since at least 2021. The most significant recent violation, from April 2024, is an open Bedbug Reporting violation related to the failure to file the required annual report, for which there is currently no certified date.

The building has a documented history of mold issues, with a complaint filed in January 2021 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though this specific case was closed in February 2021. During 2021, multiple violations were recorded regarding Apartment 1, including problems with paint conditions, water leaks, and security concerns.

Specifically, there were three open violations on February 3, 2021, requiring various repairs including addressing peeling paint surfaces in multiple rooms (including the bathroom and kitchen), repairing a water leak at the north wall, and fixing door self-closing mechanisms. Additionally, there were violations related to safety equipment, including missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices, though these specific violations do not appear to have been marked as resolved in the available records. The building's bedbug situation shows some complexity, with the most recent Bedbug Reporting period (2021-2022) indicating no infested units, while the previous period (2020-2021) reported three eradicated units, suggesting some historical treatment activity though no re-infestations were noted in either report.
