1433 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1433 72nd Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1925 in Bensonhurst, currently owned by 72ND PROPERTY LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several months, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between October 2024 and January 2025, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. A series of violations was documented in October 2024, including roof leaks in the public hall, broken fire retardant materials, and an unsafe bulkhead door push bar.

Two violations remain open as of the latest inspection: one concerning required painting of all stories, balconies, and fire escape components, and another related to self-closing doors at the building entrance. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in July 2024, with violations issued for plumbing issues, water leaks, flooring problems, and painting/plaster repairs. Previous health concerns were addressed in April 2024 regarding asbestos, and an inspection conducted that month resulted in several violations requiring attention.

However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations or related issues across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. The property has experienced recurring heat/hot water service concerns, and though some violations have been resolved, several maintenance issues remain open as of October 2024, particularly related to the fire escape and entrance doors. Recent heating system complaints suggest ongoing concerns about building systems and maintenance response times.
