1921 72nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1921 72nd Street in Bensonhurst, owned by Giovanni Bassini, was constructed in 1930 and is currently classified as a Converted Class A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years.

Most notably, in December 2022, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. This building has also been subject to recurring Bedbug Reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with inspections in each of these years citing failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC. These violations were marked as Class A and have since been closed.

Recent bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 reveal an interesting pattern: during the five reporting periods from 2019-2020 through 2024-2025, the building has consistently recorded zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management despite the initial reporting violations. The most recent Bedbug Report, filed in June 2025 for the 2023-2024 period, maintains this pattern of no reported infestations. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and initial bedbug report compliance, the property appears to have resolved these issues over time, with improved compliance and management of both heating systems and pest control as indicated by the recent Bedbug Reports.
